(4)Tomomi Higashi, a 38-member of Machida City, Tokyo, who exposed sexual harassment he received from male voters in 2018, attended the press conference and said, “When I shook hands with male voters, it was common to stroke my hand, start from my arm, and come up to my armpit. I was forced to hug a drunk.”
(5)Representative Higashi said, “Some men are using physical sexual harassment and verbal violence against female lawmakers by exploiting the psychology that they cannot ignore voters. It is unacceptable that there are men who make big decisions and consume women who try politics out of personal desire.”
