Groping on public transport is a problem the world over, but the scale of it in Japan, where it is known as “chikan”, is infamous. According to Tokyo’s metropolitan police department, 1,750 cases of groping or molestation were reported in 2017, with more than 50% of sexual harassment cases occurring on trains, and a further 20% in train stations. Some reports suggest that more than 75% of all Japanese women have been groped.
