Since its establishment, the number of consultations has been increasing, and their content has become more serious.
In recent years, with the spread of social media, bullying has become less visible and more insidious, leading to an increasing number of isolated young people who cannot consult anyone.
Furthermore, due to the tightening of regulations in Tokyo's Kabukicho, some malicious host clubs have flowed into Sapporo's Susukino area, and there have been reports of young women falling victim to exorbitant charges and aggressive collection practices.
Our organization stands by these "victims who cannot speak out" and provides consistent support from consultation to problem-solving and rebuilding their lives.
In addition, our organization's activities were featured in the media "NEWS Post Seven" on March 14, 2026, and in "Gairoku Channel" on April 6, 2026.
Similar consultations continue to be received, and there is an urgent need to strengthen the support system.
【Actual Consultation Cases】
■Case ① (Bullying/SNS)
A female high school student in her teens attending a high school in Hokkaido was bullied by classmates and also subjected to defamation on social media, leading her to stop attending school.
Although her family consulted the school, they did not receive adequate support, and she felt strong anxiety and isolation.
Our organization intervened, organized the situation, and served as a bridge to relevant organizations. Currently, with external support, she is moving towards improving her environment.
■Case ② (Malicious Host Victim)
A woman in her 20s in Sapporo incurred exorbitant charges while frequenting a host club and was forced into sex work to pay off the debt.
Our organization, upon receiving the consultation, prioritized ensuring her safety and is providing support for rebuilding her life in cooperation with relevant organizations.
■Case ③ (DV/Evacuation Support)
An urgent consultation from a woman who could no longer stay at home due to domestic violence from her partner.
Our organization responded on the same day, providing safe evacuation (arranging shelter, employment support).

"Our organization currently continues to operate through its own activities, without receiving public support from the government. This is why we can provide 'speedy support' that is not bound by institutional frameworks.
On-site, there are countless cases where individuals cannot speak up for themselves and only seek help when they are pushed to their limits. However, we sincerely wish that they would rely on us before reaching that point.
Moving forward, we will further strengthen cooperation with local businesses and organizations to build a social system where vulnerable young people and women are never again isolated. We want to be an entity that stands by those who are suffering alone and cannot consult anyone, consistently supporting them until they rebuild their lives."
