Okinawan Women Act Against Military Violence" was organized on November 8, 1995, as an outgrowth of the participation of 71 Okinawan women in the Beijing Women's Conference NGO Forum last September. We base our position on the section of the Platform of Action approved by the Beijing Women's Conference that clearly states: "Rape that takes place in a situation of armed conflict constitutes both a war crime and a crime against humanity." We are proceeding on the premise that the same holds true for Okinawa, which has long suffered a foreign military military presence. Okinawan women have resolved that we will no longer tolerate this violence and violation of human rights, and have thus petitioned the Japanese government to consolidate¡¡the U.S. bases and withdraw U.S.military personnel, review the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty and the Status of Forces Agreement, and award full compensation to all victims. We have conducted a signature campaign, engaged in a 12-day sit-in demonstration, and visited the both Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue our appeal. We have received wide support for our efforts from women throughout Japan.
