During World War II, the Imperial Japanese Army forced many girls and women from Taiwan, Korea, China, and other Asian countries to serve as sexual slaves to the soldiers. Although the exploitative system of "comfort women" was widespread, its effects on the survivors' identities throughout their lifetimes as well as its intergenerational effects on their families remain insufficiently explored in the existing literature. This doctoral dissertation aims to address this gap by analyzing how a complex interplay between early-life sexual trauma and certain structural factors influenced older Taiwanese comfort women survivors' multiple identities (i.e., as women, as sexual violence survivors, as older adults). Additionally, the study retraces the ramifications of sexual trauma on the second and third generations of these women's families, such as their experiences of mother-daughter relationships. To this end, an autobiographical reflection is utilized to study how Taiwanese comfort women survivors were supported by the NGOs and social worker activists, and analyzes how they were socially and politically positioned, at the local and international levels, in the comfort women redress movement. Additionally, a life-history analysis of two deceased Indigenous Truku comfort women is conducted, drawing on existing literature. Furthermore, in-depth, semi-structured interviews are conducted with ten family members of one Truku and three Han-Chinese comfort women (all deceased). Several important findings emerged from these interviews. First, the survivors' sexual trauma interplayed with multiple structural factors (i.e., colonialism, patriarchy, class exploitation, cultural and gender norms, local and global social-political factors), to shape their life trajectories. Second, family members recognized the survivors' intersectional roles (as women, as sexual violence survivors, as older adults, etc.) and generally empathized with survivors' sexual victimization, although the second generation expressed more ambivalence compared to the third generation. Third, important contextual factors influenced family responses, including participant-survivor relationships, local and global activism campaigns, and changing societal gender norms. Fourth, although the second and third generations were profoundly affected by their (grand)mothers' experiences as comfort women, the family members demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of this challenging history. Based on these findings, the study advocates for increased attention and support for the descendants of comfort women, emphasizing the involvement of families in the recovery process of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) survivors. The dissertation concludes by proposing a culturally-driven, multilayered approach to support comfort women and other CRSV survivors and their families.

520 $a Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'Armee imperiale japonaise forcait de nombreuses filles et femmes originaires de Taiwan, de Coree, de Chine et d'autres pays d'Asie, a servir d'esclaves sexuelles aux soldats. Bien que ce systeme de «femmes de reconfort» ait ete largement repandu, ses consequences sur les identites des survivantes tout au long de leurs vies ainsi que ses consequences intergenerationnelles restent insuffisamment etudiees dans la litterature actuelle. Cette these de doctorat vise a combler cette lacune en analysant comment un traumatisme sexuel survenu en debut de vie, ainsi que certains facteurs structurels, ont pu influencer les multiples facettes identitaires d'anciennes « femmes de reconforts » originaires de Taiwan et plus agees que les autres (c.-a-d., en tant que femmes, survivantes de violences sexuelles, et femmes plus agees). En outre, cette etude retrace les repercussions de ces traumatismes sexuels sur les deuxiemes et troisiemes generations descendantes de ces femmes, par exemple sur leurs experiences des relations mere-fille. Dans cette optique, une reflexion autobiographique est utilisee pour etudier comment les anciennes femmes de reconfort taiwanaises etaient positionnees, sur le plan social et politique, dans les mouvements-d'echelle locale et internationale-de reparation des femmes de reconfort, soutenus par des ONG et des travailleurs sociaux militants. De plus, une analyse de l'histoire de vie de deux femmes de reconfort autochtones Truku decedees est realisee, en s'appuyant sur la litterature existante. De plus, des entretiens semi-structures approfondis ont ete menes avec dix membres de differentes familles : ceux d'une femme Truku et ceux de trois femmes Han (toutes decedees). Ces entretiens ont mene a plusieurs conclusions importantes. Tout d'abord, ces traumatismes sexuels ont eu une influence sur de multiples facteurs structurels de la vie de ces survivantes (c.-a-d., colonialisme, patriarcat, exploitation des classes, normes culturelles et de genre, facteurs sociopolitiques locaux et mondiaux). Deuxiemement, les membres de la famille ont reconnu les roles intersectionnels des survivantes (en tant que femmes, survivantes de violences sexuelles, adultes plus agees, etc.) et ont generalement exprime de l'empathie en ce qui concerne les violences sexuelles vecues par celles-ci, bien que la deuxieme generation ait exprime davantage d'ambivalence comparee a la troisieme. Troisiemement, d'importants facteurs contextuels ont influence les reactions familiales, notamment les relations entre les participants et les survivantes, les campagnes d'activisme locales et mondiales et l'evolution des normes societales en matiere de genre. Quatriemement, bien que les deuxiemes et troisiemes generations aient ete profondement affectees par les experiences de leurs (grands-)meres « femmes de reconfort », les membres de la famille ont fait preuve d'un courage remarquable face a ces evenements difficiles. En se basant sur ces resultats, l'etude preconise une attention et un soutien accrus pour les descendants de ces femmes, en insistant sur l'implication familiale dans le processus de retablissement des survivantes de violences sexuelles liees aux conflits (Conflict-related Sexual Violence, ou CRSV en anglais). La these se termine par la proposition d'une approche culturelle a plusieurs niveaux pour soutenir les femmes et autres survivantes de violences sexuelles liees aux conflits, ainsi que leurs familles.
