For a decade, she coordinated the comfort women networks of 9 countries that participated in the Tokyo Women’s Tribunal involving judges, lawyers, prosecutors, academics, activists and the comfort women. Indai has also worked with the United Nations and NGOs in countries in Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East, in different professional capacities as a development, gender and humanitarian advisor.
