Ex-SDF sexual assault victim, lawmaker on Time's emerging leaders list

I still wish she had used her judo skills on those idiots who harassed her.

She deserves the accolades 100%. So very happy to see this!

Good for Ms Gonoi.

Hopefully she has become a Champion of Change within the culture of the SDF.

Japanese militarists or far-rightists have hostility against her who revealed problem of SDF.

Reason women should not join the military the threat of rape is always present at some point. Not sure if this pertains to only japan

by that logic, women should be locked indoors because they might get raped if they go out..... how very Taliban-esque of you （＾＿－）

Good for Ms.Gonoi. JSDF needs to clean house and get their act in order.

Name and shame the cowards.

Good ! It will take a lot to make Japan up to the top field.

Japanese militarists or far-rightists have hostility against her who revealed problem of SDF.

Very true.

All of which are useless compared to the accomplishments of this young lady. She has truly done her country proud.

Very deserving of this recognition

Good for her.

Congratulations to her for holding those accountable

Yes. Punish all the offenders. No one is above the moral law. Not Weinstein, not R Kelly, not Bill Cosby, not Donald Trump. Nobody.

It's in every institution - occupations, schools, religion, everywhere. She's a heroine to be standing up.

And all defense/military forces around the world. It's a big time problem for both sexes in the US Armed Forces.
