Korean Women's Volunteer Labor Corps (Korean조선여자근로정신대; Hanja朝鮮女子勤勞挺身隊) or Peninsula Women's Volunteer Corps (Korean반도여자정신대; Hanja半島女子挺身隊) was the Korean part of the Women's Volunteer Corps, which was created in April 1944 as a work group for Japanese and Korean women[1]. Although its official purpose was to give women a chance to serve the Empire of Japan prior to marriage, it was a means to compel women to perform labor duties[1].

difference from the comfort women

Korean Women's Volunteer Labour Corps is mobilization of labor and is different from the comfort women who are sexual exploitation. The term Volunteer Corps were often used interchangeably with the term comfort women after the war.[2] Because of this misunderstanding, some women who finished forced labor could not explain the fact that they worked forced labor, because they were afraid to be confused with comfort women.[3]
