TOKYO/KUALA LUMPUR – Women in Tokyo strongly favor having single-sex train cars on public transport, according to a poll of five of the world’s biggest commuter cities released Thursday, despite such policies facing growing criticism.

A Thomson Reuters Foundation survey of 1,000 female travelers in Tokyo, London, New York City, Cairo and Mexico City found less than half supported women-only sections on trains and buses to boost safety.

But nearly 70 percent of women in Tokyo backed the single-sex carriages introduced in the city in 2000 to combat a phenomenon commonly known as chikan, or groping, on trains. More than half of women surveyed in the city said safety was their top transport concern, but seven in 10 were confident they could now travel without being subjected to sexual harassment or violence.

In Japan there’s an entire genre of porn centered around assaulting and raping women on public transport. The word for it is chikan. Not to mention the poor women who have been raped to disability and to death while riding trains and buses in other parts of Asia. This is a serious problem and men are teaching each other where and how to assault women by producing and jacking off to chikan pornography.
