However, in contrast to the somewhat similar case of Hansen’s disease survivors, this issue only gained national attention in recent years, and legal attempts to demand government accountability began as late as in 2018. Many of the victims, who were silent about their experience for decades, found themselves in the position of plaintiffs, as well as active agents of the redress movement. 　This talk, based on literature survey, interviews with sterilization victims, as well as records of court proceedings, aims to look into reasons why the issue of coerced sterilizations was practically ignored for such a prolonged period of time, as well as to demonstrate how the sterilized persons turned from silent victims to “accidental activists”. 白山人類学研究会世話人 代表：長津一史 運営委員：山本須美子　箕曲在弘　左地亮子　ゴロウィナ・クセーニャ　山田香織　寺内大左 お問い合わせは、研究会事務局hakusanjinrui=gmail.com(=を@にかえてください） まで。 東洋大学社会学部社会文化システム学科　〒 112-8606 東京都文京区白山5-28-20 TEL 03-3945-7439　FAX 03-3945-7626 Copyright 2008 (c) Department of Socio-Cultural Studies, Toyo University.
