>>726741Sexual assaults will always be underreported sadly since victims are usually dependent on their assaulters. But we do have an independent matrix here: sexual assault against lone female travellers, who are not subject to the same strutural forces as a local woman. And, for an overwhelming majority, it is safe for lone female travellers to be in Japanese trains!
(It is safe to be a female traveller in Afghanistan too, but we're talking about law and order here rather than societal treatment to women)
