Compensation Initiated: The Japanese government has commenced compensating victims of forced sterilization, in line with a new law passed in October 2024. Each victim will receive 15 million yen, managed by the Children and Families Agency.
Victims' Redress: This effort aims to address past injustices by offering financial compensation to help ease the trauma experienced by victims and their families. Despite this initiative, many victims are still reluctant to step forward due to societal stigma.
