We value and collect the voices of victims more than anything else.
MISSION
In Japan, the number of students studying abroad increases each year, but it is becoming clear that students have been sexually victimized while studying abroad.
In a survey we conducted from May to July 2020, out of 516 responses, 216 cases of sexual assault were reported while studying abroad.
Our goal is to create a society where all students can fully enjoy their study abroad experience by conveying to students who will study abroad what we wish we had known before being victimized in our study abroad destination.
ACTION
Investigation
We will survey the actual situation of victims of sexual harassment and sexual violence, listen to the voices of victims, and publish information on our website and social networking sites as needed to raise awareness.
Events
We hold events to raise awareness about the current reality of sexual harassment and sexual violence and inform international students about prevention and countermeasures.
Publishing manuals
