Home News Asia Sexual Assault on Japanese School Girls is So Bad, It’s Seen as ‘Normal’

For the longest time, the phenomenon called “chikan”, or groping, has been acceptable in most of Japan, especially in public transportation. Frequent victims of this extremely revolting practice include schoolgirls, who have unfortunately been objectified as stress-release outlets by overworked corporate employees .
Now, the gut-wrenching cultural norm may see its long-sought end thanks to courageous girls and women who have started speaking out about their grim experiences.
Tamaka Ogawa, 36, shared her story to Al Jazeera . She was first assaulted at the age of 10 while riding on a subway . She recalled a man pulling her culottes and underwear down before pressing himself against her bare bottom.
In another incident, a man placed his hand inside her underwear and touched her aggressively. The offender grabbed her when she tried to get off at a stop, but thankfully, she escaped.
Ogawa suffered more sexual assaults, but at the time, she simply couldn’t speak up. She thought it was improper to get mad at adults and did not want to cause a stir.
Now, Ogawa writes for Press Labo, a digital content company she co-founded. There, she tackles issues on gender inequality and sexual violence.
Thankfully, help is within reach for other girls currently on Ogawa’s shoes. In 2015, Yayoi Matsunaga established an organization called Groping Prevention Activities Center in Osaka.
Matsunaga helps spread awareness through anti-groping badges, the crowdfunding of which kicked off in November 2015. She successfully raised $19,000 and called for the best designs through a crowdsourcing contest.
Matsunaga now sells the badges online for $3.70 each. Apparently, a 2016 survey found that they are actually working — 61.4% of 70 students said nobody touched them after using the badges. Only 4.3% cited no changes.
“Chikan” appears to have a long history influenced by multiple factors, one of which includes Japan’s highly patriarchal society and the confusion over its umbrella of sexually-related crimes. But at the end of the day, what appears to sustain the disgusting phenomenon is society’s oblivious stance, which only discourages victims further from opening up.
Ogawa explained, “The reason they can’t say [anything] is because they’re ashamed. And sometimes, if they talk about it, some people think they are just bragging: I’ve been groped.”
Unfortunately, victims are told that it’s their fault, and worse, that “it happens to everyone” anyway, Ogawa said.

In July, at the Bangkok Asean Film Festival, Vietnamese movie The Third Wife was honoured with a Special Mention prize, with the jury noting its meticulous craftsmanship, strong acting and confident directing.
In the movie set in rural Vietnam in the late 19th century, a young girl becomes the third wife of a wealthy land-owner. There are sex scenes and sequences showing child-birth.
But while the film has been well-received overseas, including winning a prize at Toronto International Film Festival 2018, it ran into trouble in Vietnam, leading to the movie being withdrawn from cinemas in late May.
Audiences, reported Vietnam News, were shocked that the character is played by Nguyen Phuong Tra My, who was then only 13 years old.
Netizens blasted Vietnamese film-maker Ash Mayfair over her casting decision.
My's mother was also slammed for allowing her daughter to be involved, with some detractors wondering if she was blinded by the pursuit of fame and money.
The VnExpress portal cited child protection experts as saying that the sex scenes could have a psychological effect on a young actress.
Mayfair told the Hollywood Reporter: "We didn't do anything wrong and we broke no law. They can't attack us on those grounds so there have been attempts to smear the ethics of the actress' mother, publishing her personal details online and saying she had sold her daughter for money."
Defending the subject matter in her film, she said: "These questions are open for debate and I have no problem with that. We talk about women's rights and we are very critical about patriarchal traditions that have been in the country for centuries."
My was reportedly selected after the director auditioned more than 900 candidates.
My, who is now 15 and was said to have convinced her parents that she could perform the role, is upset that the movie cannot be seen by Vietnamese, even as it has drawn applause elsewhere.
Hollywood trade publication Variety, in its review of the film, said: "In May (portrayed by My) and in Ha and Xuan (the other two wives), there are all the women and girls of the past who've been ignored, abused, forced into competition with one another, made to endure a degradation of spirit and a commodification of body so complete it should have resulted in their annihilation, like silkworms steaming alive inside their cocoons".
"But with The Third Wife, new talent Mayfair reclaims just a few of those silvery strands from the neglect of history and weaves them into a film so sensuous we can lose ourselves in it, but so vividly real we might also be able to find ourselves there."
