living in japan as a woman: japan’s harassment problem no one talks about

hi lovelies - today's topic on Japan is a little different: Getting harassed multiple times on a single weekend in Tokyo prompted me to discuss this subject on this platform. I take this topic very seriously, and my intention is for us as a community to be able to have open conversations about uncomfortable topics so as to encourage women to feel empowered to speak about their experiences. I am aware that this issue is not only pertinent to Japan, but I do believe that it is extremely embedded and normalized into the culture. If you're reading this, let's hold this convo with respect, and I will see you in the next one. 0:00 intro 0:27 why i'm making this video 1:17 cultural context 1:27 "nanpa" 2:12 stalking & sexual harrassment 3:57 p*rn culture 5:03 personal experiences 8:39 comparison w canada 9:06 impact on women 10:24 call to action
