Congratulations @BBCThisWorld and @truevisiontv on an important film. And especially @photograshiori whose bravery is remarkable in a society where ‘no means yes’ as one contributor so powerfully puts it #JapansSecretShame x.com/bbcthisworld/s…
The number of rapes reported to the police is fifty times higher (proportionately) in the UK than in Japan. Is this because Japanese women are afraid to speak out? Japan’s Secret Shame tonight 9pm BBC2 bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06…
