In the unfolding of a global pandemic that has wreaked havoc worldwide, another less obvious pandemic hovers overhead This is what the United Nations is calling a ‘Shadow Pandemic ’ A rise in domestic violence within households has been noted in Japan and other countries The stay-at-home measures to prevent the spread of the infection have essentially kept victims trapped with abusive partners and few means of escaping to the often-closed manga cafes or women’s shelters In this dire time, Japanese laws offer only minimal protection This article draws on insights from Nakajima Sachiko of NPO Resilience, which aims to spread awareness of domestic violence and the effects of this trauma She shares her expertise in the field and experiences as a survivor herself on the mechanisms that exist in Japanese laws and society that have created increased vulnerability among victims Domestic violence in Japan is an area needing stronger attention from the government and legal system © 2020, Japan Focus All rights reserved
