Join Amnesty International Australia’s campaign for “Comfort Women” by creating a butterfly online before 15th August – the anniversary of end of WWII.

The survivors’ chosen symbol is the butterfly – a unique and beautiful creature that has the power to fly above their suffering. That’s why we’re asking you to create your own butterfly, to be sent to the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and shared around the world on your social networks. With an outpouring of support at this crucial time, we can get the Australian Government to pass a motion urging the Japanese authorities to recognise and compensate survivors.

It’s a simple and striking way to take a stand, and finally shine a light of justice and hope on dark acts hidden in silence and shame for generations.

Send your butterfly to Kevin Rudd, and we’ll amplify your message here at home and abroad – ensuring the survivors we’re in contact with know of your personal messages of hope and solidarity:
