In an opinion piece published by Kyodo News, a member of international NGO Plan International urged Japan to expand its 'Life Safety Education' program as a key measure to prevent sexual violence against children.

According to the expert, life safety education should be institutionalized and widely implemented in the school system. The program teaches children essential knowledge and skills to help them avoid becoming victims or perpetrators of sexual violence.

Japan currently faces significant challenges in protecting children from sexual abuse. The lack of a systematic and comprehensive education program leaves many children without the awareness to protect themselves or recognize inappropriate behavior.

The call emphasizes that education plays a fundamental role in shifting social perceptions, eradicating stereotypes, and creating a safer environment for children. Expanding life safety education is seen as a crucial step in addressing the root causes of sexual violence.
