Japan has operated women-only train cars for the past 25 years as a measure to address the pervasive issue of *chikan*, or sexual harassment, on public transportation. These dedicated cars aim to provide a safer commute for female passengers. The initiative was implemented in response to increasing reports and concerns regarding unwanted touching and harassment on trains. While the problem persists, the women-only cars offer a designated space where women can travel with reduced fear of assault. The system remains in place today, demonstrating a long-term commitment to improving passenger safety and addressing gender-based violence on public transit. Despite some debate over whether the solution addresses the root cause of the problem, the cars are widely used and appreciated by many female commuters.
