Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented. Victim blaming is common. This is a systemic problem, and if you didn't know, then now you do.
This, I agree with.
For this, I'd like to see the documentation you cite.

This is specifically for train groping, for one, and literally has a whole section on what they are doing about it. I specifically wanted to know what was being cited here:
Is a perfect example of that insufficient? That is what I gave you... Well, I suppose you could do a basic web search. Meh.
I specifically was asking for documentation about "Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented". The article provided mentions the efforts they are making.
You make the claim, you provide the evidence.
The actual reason I ask is that, if this specific sort of thing exists, it would be good to specifically target and fight it.
Yes, it's like that in much of the world. Australian laws until recently silenced SA survivors for example as I linked down below. It's good that you're learning about it and engaging with it. Rape culture must be stopped world over.
this is literally true to everywhere on earth
Yes and some places (like Japan) are even worse.
They have women only passenger trains on the subway because they need to not because they want to. Those don’t exist in most western countries that I know of.
Go muddy waters elsewhere
You're still doubling down on this? My friend, sometimes other people actually do know more than you. But keep trying if you're enjoying yourself.
