Introduction

In Japan, the word ’harassment’ has been receiving a lot of attention. Especially in various situations such as workplaces, schools, and online, many people have suffered from it. In this article, we will explore the current state of harassment in modern Japanese culture. We will explain various aspects such as examples of harassment in Japan, the feelings of harassment victims, and the current situation of harassment countermeasures.

Definition of harassment

Harassment refers to speech or actions that hurt someone and cause discomfort. This can occur in various settings such as the workplace or school. In Japan, there are various types of harassment, including power harassment, sexual harassment, stalking, and bullying, which have become major social issues. It is clear that many people in contemporary Japan are struggling with the harm and troubles caused by harassment.

Japanese harassment cases

In modern-day Japan, there is a growing issue of power harassment in workplaces and schools, where those in positions of authority use their power to bully and harass subordinates and juniors. This may include excessive orders from bosses or seniors, demands to work outside of regular hours, and forced on-call shifts. Additionally, sexual harassment is also a serious problem. Women may experience sexual language or actions from male superiors or colleagues, while female students may be coerced into sexual relationships with male teachers.

Stalking is another issue of concern, particularly through the use of social media to repeatedly harass victims through messages and calls. Bullying in schools and workplaces is also a serious issue, where victims are subject to unjust treatment and harassment which can affect their mental health.

Despite being recognised as a societal problem, progress in addressing these issues is slow with many victims not receiving adequate support or fearing to speak out. Improvements will require active efforts from companies and the government, but also a societal shift towards greater awareness and support for victims.

The psychological state of harassment victims

Harassment victims feel very lonely and their hearts become agitated. They may find themselves in situations where they can’t talk to anyone they can trust. They may experience feelings of shame and have to make great efforts to protect themselves. They need

Current situation of harassment measures in Japan

In Japan, social awareness of harassment is increasing. Companies and the government have established laws to prevent sexual and power harassment. Many companies are putting efforts into measures such as regular training and consultation services.

However, the problem is still deeply rooted and it is important for individuals to take measures. For example, there may be cases where it is necessary to take measures that involve risks, such as personnel transfers or lawsuits. Also, it is important to gather evidence if you experience sexual or power harassment.

In addition to individuals taking measures, a social awareness change is necessary. It is important to stand on the side of the victim and be conscious of not committing harassment.

Issues with harassment in Japanese society

The problem with harassment in Japanese society is that it is still often considered taboo and victims find it difficult to speak up. Defining harassment is difficult and it can take time for the victim to come forward. In addition, corporate and government measures are insufficient and individual level measures have not yet been widely adopted. Harassment needs to be recognized as a social issue related to labor problems and further measures are needed.

Conclusion

The reality of harassment in modern Japanese culture is a serious problem that has not been solved by measures taken by companies and the government. Whether it is power harassment, sexual harassment, stalking, bullying, etc., it is heart- wrenching to consider the feelings of the victims. Japanese society still has a long way to go.
