メディアの方へ
私たちは性暴力問題に声をあげ、性暴力被害者への不当な判決に抗議し、性犯罪の刑法改正に向けて継続して毎月１１日にフラワーデモを行っていく予定でおります。
４月１１日に声をあげたとき、呼びかけ人等が想像していなかったのは、これが大きなうねるような＃ＭｅＴｏｏの会になったことでした。多くの方が前に立ち、ご自身の痛みや体験を話してくださいました。
安心して私たちが集まり、声をあげていくためにも、メディアの皆様には撮影エリアについてのご理解と、取材に協力する参加者へのインタビューには細心の注意を払っていただきたくお願い申し上げます。性暴力被害に関する質問が深刻な二次被害につながる恐れがあります。どうか、ご理解の上、今後ともどうかご協力をお願い申し上げます。
取材に関する問い合わせなどは koe@flowerdemo.org までお願いします。
For Press,
We will conduct Flower Demo on the 11th of every month, speaking upon the issue of sexual violence, protesting the unfair judgment regarding sexual crime, and aiming for the revision of the criminal law for sexual offenses.
When covering Flower Demo in the media, please follow rules concerning reporting.
No recordings (audio, video, still photography) is allowed without permission.
Exercise due caution when interviewing participants, since questions concerning sexual assault can lead to serious secondary damage.
