When they say Japan is safe, they mean FOR MEN. Yeah, murder is rare. You can sleep on the streets drunk and be fine. Lost wallet will be returned.
But women have to worry about sexual assault, groping, upskirting, stalkers, catcalling(nanpa), etc. And we do not feel safe.
Japan enacted a law banning child pornography in 2014.Until then, individuals were not punished for possessing child pornography.Nowadays, Internet advertisements on websites for all ages often show cartoons about kidnapping and rape children.Japan is crazy.
