Bringing Victims' Voices to Society

As time passes, people around you start saying things like this:
"It's good that you seem to have calmed down a bit."
"You seem to be okay now."

But in reality, that is not the case.
Even if they look fine on the surface, inside the victim's heart, the wounds may not only fail to heal but actually spread. It is just invisible from the outside; deep down, they continue to suffer.

Even after time has passed, children who have been victimized maysuffer from various mental symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders.Many continue to visit clinics, desperately trying to maintain their daily lives.
This is not a "past event," but an ongoing struggle.

However, it takes a lot of courage to confide that pain to those around you.
Will strange rumors start spreading again?
Will my story be twisted and lead to an unfavorable outcome?
Suchanxiety takes precedence, and in the end, the family is left to bear the burden alone.And so,
the problem remains hidden and worsens within the home.

Schools, which should be in a position to protect victims, hide the facts and act as if the harm never occurred. As a result,not only the victim but also their family continues to suffer from secondary victimization.
Frustration and anger well up inside me.
Cover-ups are acts that continue to destroy the lives of victims over the long term.

That is precisely why I believe there is meaning in victims connecting with one another.
We can empathize with the words of those who have had the same experience.
And if individual voices are gathered, they might become a force that reaches society.
I want to create a society where victims are no longer isolated.
For that reason, I want to keep raising my voice.
