Hopefully, the Shiori Ito film gets released in Japan so people can wake up to how bad sexual violence is in Japan and stop sweeping it under the proverbial carpet.

Now, the whole world is going to know, although if tourists don't figure it out from all the chiikan signs , lady-only cars and camera shutter sound requirements then they must be blind.

Men will hardly report such an incident, nobody will believe them.

This is true of women too - more than 95%, by some accounts, do not report.

There are cases known and not only in Japan where women did accuse totally innocent men of sexual assault in trains and sometimes tried to extort money from them.
