[quote=TRUTHMERCHANT ,26595]Gender discrimination is an important aspect of social inequality in the United States. Until this day, there has been no constitutional provision on equality between men and women. On September 18, 2000, with support of some NGOs, a dozen surviving \" comfort women\" brought a class action with a federal court in Washington D.C., demanding public apology and compensation from the Japanese government. The US government, however, issued a statement of interest in July 2001, calling for dismissal of the lawsuit on the ground that recruiting of \"comfort women\" by the Japanese army during the Second World War was a \"sovereign act.\" The statement aroused protects from the US National Organization for Women, the Truth Council for World War II in Asia and other NGOs. This incident, in its own way, reflects current conditions in protection of women\'s human rights in the United States and America\'s official attitude towards women\'s rights demand. [/quote]
