Women-only subway

One of the presentation in this week was about Women-only train service. I didn't know that this issue is on going controversy these days. I get to know about this topic from this presentation so it was really good. Women-only car is a train service which is only women can get on. The purpose of introducing this system is for women's safety. But some people oppose to this because this shows sex discrimination. But I am positive with women-only subway system.

This system actually had existed before. It was began 1992 but it  fizzled out and disappeard. But they try to reintroduce this system for women's safety. Because sexual harassment is increasing especially in subway. I think intend of introducing this system is good idea relating to those conditions. For example, in my case I have seen lots of perverts in the subway when I was in high school especially during early in the morning and midnight. I felt insecure most of time when I was on the way of school. And actually, Japan prevents crime which is targeting women by enforcing women-only car system. So, if we introduce this system we can't get rid of such crime but at least we can reduce it. Decreasing rate of crime also important. So it is not useless thing to do.

This might cause some problems but it is to protect women which is really good. So, I think we should introduce women-only subway system. Many men might oppose to this but I hope they also understand women's situations and help to enforce this system.
