During the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor, the Cardassians took Bajoran women from their homes and families on Bajor to serve as comfort women for them. In this role, these women seemed to provide everything from companionship to sexual favors to the officers on Terok Nor, and were given comfortable living, clothing, medical care, and rations in return and sometimes favors for their loved ones, but had no intrinsic rights and were essentially used and discarded at will for their Cardassian clients as sex slaves. These women lived in relative luxury compared to the rest of the Bajoran population, and they were collectively hated and referred to as collaborators. They were forced to leave everything behind to provide company and pleasure to the Cardassians. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")
