The Japanese government has not yet given a clear response to this demand, but as Wang Ching-feng points out, "The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which was adopted last year, proposes treating sexual torture of non-combatants as a war crime. It is thus clear that our pursuit of the comfort women question has been a step forward in the fight to protect women's rights."
雖然日本政府尚未有明確回應，但「去年在羅馬通過設立的國際刑事法案，已提出將對平民的性虐待列為戰爭罪犯，顯見慰安婦議題的揭發，對促進國際婦女人權有正面效應」，王清峰說。
