Don't put your hands on the students!
January 13, 19:13
The common test for university entrance exams is about to begin.
Before that, there are a lot of despicable words such as "Molester Chance Day" and "Molester Day" flying around on SNS.
But to all the students, the thoughts of many people who want to protect everyone are spreading properly.

The despicableness that takes advantage of weaknesses
“ Common test is a good day for molestation,”
“Common test day is a
molester
challenge!”
Candidates on their way to the exam venue have a strong feeling that they cannot be late, so it is difficult to complain even if they are injured.
Also, wearing a uniform on the morning of the standardized test makes it easy to see that there is a high possibility that you are an examinee.
For this reason, it is believed that there is a high risk that examinees will be targeted on the day of the standardized test.
"I spread it!"
However, posting on SNS is not the only thing that encourages molesters.
A short comic posted this month with the message, "Spread! # Eradicate common test molesters," is spreading.
It was posted by an illustrator woman in Osaka.
The manga introduces that in January last year, there was a move to request the railway company to strengthen measures against molestation aimed at local students.
In the Kansai region, the Hanshin Electric Railway and the Kobe Municipal Subway began announcing in January last year that they would try to prevent molestation, and each company said that there was a growing demand for stronger measures on SNS.
The woman who posted is also active in an organization in Osaka that works to curb molestation, and this winter she herself participated in a request to railway companies and others to strengthen measures.
And in the tweet, we are calling for everyone to share the efforts to prevent damage across the country and the information that will be useful for students.
Female illustrator:
“Until now, I think there is a part that has been dismissed as ``a common occurrence''. I thought that if I did a manga, that voice might get louder.I added a comment saying, "Spread!" I guess
#Molester Eradication Think together
If you look at the post with the "#common test eradication of molestation" attached, you will find such powerful words.
" Don't molest me
! I'm watching you
." "I'll be careful when I get on the train. "
We were relieved to see so many vulgar words.
In addition to those expressing such “feelings”, there were also posts that gave advice on specific methods of coping.
One of them is to use a function that allows you to directly exchange data such as image files between nearby smartphones.
The person who posted also prepared an image for transmission that said, "I'm being molested, please help me."
Many people are looking at their smartphones on trains.
With this method, even those who are afraid to speak up can tell that they are being harmed without speaking up.
The idea of the female illustrator in the hashtag , “So that all students can go to the exam venue with peace
of mind,” was spreading steadily.
Juniors also support
Never forgive a pervert.
Some high school students made use of their skills for that purpose.
A total of three students, a sophomore and a first year student at Aichi Institute of Technology Meiden High School in Nagoya City, created a video at the request of the police.
The name is "Three measures that can be done from today to protect yourself from Chikan"
1.
Avoid crowded times when taking trains
2.
Pay attention to places where blind spots are likely to occur, such as near doors and joints
3.
Choose a place where women are and have them become your allies
These three points are conveyed in an easy-to-understand manner with a one-minute animation.
The three people who were in charge of the club activities were always making animations and videos using computers.
It seems that he chose and produced what he thought would be easy to implement from the "10 rules to repel molestation" set by the Aichi Prefectural Police.
In charge of the video: Rinhisa Kojima (2nd year)
"I made it with the intention of making it easy to understand and simple so that people who see the video can act immediately."
Music manager: Yukina Amita (2nd year)
"I was worried about how to convey the unforgivable act of molesting with music, but I chose a BGM that doesn't interfere with the content of the video and is easy to listen to."
Narration: Ms. Miori Ito (1st year)
"I re-shot many times so that I could clearly hear how to protect myself from being molested, and to convey the points without speaking too fast."
The video concludes with this.
"Is there anyone around you who is being harmed?
" The video "Your eyes prevent harm"
was released on YouTube last fall. It is also being washed away in the premises of three subway stations in Nagoya City, where many university students use it.
Each of the 3 points was shortened to 10 seconds.
Production team
“Our seniors also take standardized tests, and then the exams of each university after that. We would be happy if you could protect our seniors."
The victim of molestation may be subject to a supplementary examination.
Groping is a crime.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
If you become a victim of molestation on the day of your exam, what you
are worried about is that if you report the damage to the police, you may not be able to make it in time for the exam due to questioning.
If I don't make it in time, can I take a make-up exam?
In the case of standardized tests, those who cannot take the test due to ``accidents on the way to the test site'' or ``other unavoidable reasons'' are listed as candidates for supplementary tests, and the public relations staff at the university entrance examination center is questioned after being a victim of molestation. In the case of receiving, etc., it is said that "it is considered to be subject to supplementary examination".
So, what should a student do if he or she thinks "I can't make it in time"?
●First, contact the host university by phone.
There, you will be given an explanation of the procedures necessary to take the make-up exam, so please follow the instructions.
The contact information is written on the admission ticket, so please check it in advance and contact us as soon as possible in case of emergency.
●It is important to contact us ``until the exam on the day of the damage is over''.
Please note that you will not be able to make the necessary application to take the make-up exam after the exam time ends.

A spokesperson for the University Entrance Examination Center said,
"I think anyone who gets molested on the day of an exam would be confused. I would like all examinees to keep in mind in advance that they may be subject to make-up exams." think"
Finally, all students.
Molestation is an absolutely unforgivable criminal act and it is best not to be a victim.
In the unlikely event that you become a victim, you are not at fault, and there is a system in place to protect your chances of taking the exam.
We all hope that you will be able to do your best and finish the exam without regrets.
And all the adults around me.
