Japan Train Harassment | Reality Check

Hello! This is Rina and today's video is a sensitive topic but I believe must be shared for awareness. Sexual harassment in Japan’s trains — known as “chikan” — is a reality many women face. In this video, I share my personal experience and reflect on how common this issue is in Japan. You’ll hear: My own story as a victim myself when I was a University student Why many victims freeze in shock The cultural mentality in Japan of “not wanting to get involved” Women-only train cars and how they feel safer Comparing dangers in Japan vs. the Philippines (chikan vs. pickpockets) Why victim blaming must stop, and why catching chikans matters This video is about raising awareness and starting conversations. Share your thoughts in the comments! Let’s talk openly and respectfully.
