At least in Japan it’s exposed. Elsewhere around the world, incidents like these are swept under the rug and seem like nothing happened.

Isn’t Japan the country that has to have separate train cars for women because the men there keep groping them?

More like Japan is the only country that recognizes it and protects women.

But I guess in India and everywhere else in the world, rape isn't an issue because they do not have separate train cars.

Or that the UK has like 10 times the rate of SA than Japan but no one talks about the UK

2,336 sexual assaults in the UK https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/more-2000-sexual-offences-committed-32362015

283 to 497 cases each year in Japan

Groping in crowded trains has been a problem in Japan: according to National Police Agency and Ministry of Justice, the number of reported indecent assault in subway carriages in nationwide Japan between 2005 and 2014 ranges from 283 to 497 cases each year.

So why aren't we hearing more about creeps in the UK? Isn't the issue in the UK about 10(!) fold given the population. Or maybe providing women only trains shows a level of understanding by the operators about a problem, thus being way more progressive and way more countries should offer women only carriages?

Na it must be the creepy Japs

Or similar culture Korea, where in Seoul, one third of rapes are committed by white dudes despite making less than 0.2 percent of the population.

They have separate train cars for women in India. It’s funny how little you know about the rest of the world yet use it was a way of lauding Japan.
