During the period, a total of 2,371,770 yen was donated by 337 supporters. Although the amount did not reach the 5 million yen goal, many supporters shared heartfelt messages based on their past experiences, stating, 'I or my friends were victims during school days and thought it was unavoidable' and 'I don't want the next generation to go through the same thing.'
### Project Overview: Why the Handbook is Needed Now
This project involves creating and distributing a physical handbook for students and a digital one for adults.
According to a survey by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, about 1 in 5 women and 1 in 12 men experience molestation in their lifetime. The most common time for initial victimization is high school, followed by university (Source: Tokyo Metropolitan Government, FY2024 Molestation Victimization Survey).
However, despite being the most common form of sexual violence for students today, molestation is often treated as 'unavoidable' or 'no big deal.' We started this project with the hope that we, who were once students, can change this reality. Key features include:
- Delivering handbooks for students supervised by psychologists.
- Providing digital handbooks on what third-party adults can do when witnessing molestation.
- Making molestation 'everyone's problem' rather than just a problem for teenage victims.
### Future Developments
Since the target goal was not met, the initial plan of distributing 30,000 copies will be reviewed. However, using the funds received, we will proceed to reach as many people as possible.
