Truth and justice against fake news

Background

Historically, the Korean media have been colluding with the remnants of the pro-Japanese dictatorship and chaebol (a large Korean family-owned business conglomerate), ignoring the lives of citizens and misleading public opinion by constantly producing logic to defend the 1% privileged class.

Solidarity with the poor (homeless)

Background

The JPIC committee of the province of KOC has been considering, for all members of the province, how to go beyond each one’s apostolates and reach out to the poor neighbours around them. The committee found a homeless soup kitchen called Thomas' House not too far away from the RSCJ communities. Any RSCJ can go as a volunteer whenever they want, without contacting them in advance. The contribution of RSCJ to Thomas' House is irregular; in general three RSCJ help out through the week and during holidays, they tend to take over from volunteers.

Participation Wednesday protests of the Japanese Military Sexual Slavery in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul.

Background

Korea was a Japanese colony from August 29, 1910 to August 15, 1945 (35 years). The Japanese Military Sexual Slavery system refers to crimes that the Japanese military committed from 1930s to 1945. During that period, the Japanese military systematically set up ‘military comfort stations’ by recruiting women from colonised and occupied zones and forcing them to serve as sex slaves. After Japan was defeated in 1945, ‘comfort women’ were abandoned back in the regions they were taken from, dead by bombings, or killed by the Japanese military.
