Jeanne Alida "Jan" Ruff O'Herne AO (18 January 1923 – 19 August 2019) was a Dutch Australian human rights activist known for her vocal campaigns and speeches against war rape. During World War II, O'Herne was among young women forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army. Fifty years after the end of the war, O'Herne decided to speak out publicly to demand a formal apology from the Japanese government and to highlight the plight of other "comfort women".
O¡¯Herne was born in 1923 in Bandoeng in the Dutch East Indies, a former Southeast Asian colony of the Dutch Empire. During the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, O¡¯Herne and thousands of Dutch women were forced into hard physical labor at a prisoner-of-war camp at a disused army barracks in Ambarawa, Indonesia. In February 1944, high ranking Japanese officials arrived at the camp and ordered all single girls seventeen years and older to line up. Ten girls were chosen; O¡¯Herne, twenty-one years old at the time, was one of them. O¡¯Herne and six other young women were taken by Japanese officers to an old Dutch colonial house at Semarang. The girls thought they would be forced into factory work or used for propaganda. They soon realized that the colonial house was to be converted to a military brothel. O'Herne got the signature of each girl that night on a small white handkerchief and embroidered it in different colours which she kept for fifty years and referred to it in her writing as precious "secret evidence of the crimes done to us".
On their first day, photographs of the women were taken and displayed at the reception area. The soldiers picked the girls they wanted from the photographs. The girls were all given Japanese names; all were names of flowers. Over the following three months, the women were repeatedly raped and beaten.
O¡¯Herne fought against the soldiers every night and even cut her hair to make herself ugly to the Japanese soldiers. Cutting her hair short had the opposite effect, however, making her a curiosity. Shortly before the end of World War II, the women were moved to a camp in Bogor, West Java, where they were reunited with their families. The Japanese warned them that if they told anyone about what happened to them, they and their family members would be killed. While many of the young girls¡¯ parents guessed what had happened, most remained silent, including O¡¯Herne.
After World War II ended and O¡¯Herne was liberated, she met Tom Ruff, a member of the British Military. The two were married in 1946. After living in Britain, the couple emigrated to Australia in 1960 where they raised their two daughters, Eileen and Carol. In letters she wrote to Tom prior to her marriage, O¡¯Herne had alluded to what had happened to her during the war and asked for his patience if they were to be married. For decades after the war, O¡¯Herne continued to have nightmares and feel fearful, especially during sexual relations with her husband. They had a good marriage but O¡¯Herne¡¯s experience as a comfort woman continually affected her life.
Political activism
In the decades after the war, O¡¯Herne did not speak publicly about her experience until 1992, when three Korean comfort women demanded an apology and compensation from the Japanese government. Inspired by the actions of these women and wanting to offer her own support, O¡¯Herne decided to speak out as well. At the International Public Hearing on Japanese War Crimes in Tokyo on December 1992, O¡¯Herne broke her silence and shared her story. In 1994 O'Herne published a personal memoir titled Fifty Years of Silence, which documents the struggles that she faced while secretly living the life of a war rape survivor.
In 1998 the Asian Women's Fund project for Dutch victims was formally established. Although 79 Dutch women accepted Japan's apology and atonement money, O¡¯Herne considered the fund an insult and refused the compensation offered, wanting Japan to come to terms with its history and offer a sincere apology. From 1992 O¡¯Herne continued to work for the ¡°plight of the Comfort Women and for the protection of women in war¡±. In September 2001 she was awarded the Order of Orange-Nassau by the Government of the Netherlands in recognition of this work.
