TOKYO, Nov 23 (NHK) - BBC telah memasukkan seorang mantan anggota Pasukan Bela Diri Jepang yang berbicara tentang kekerasan seksual ke dalam daftar tahunan 100 wanita untuk tahun 2023.

Media broadcasting Inggris pada hari Selasa, 21 November 2023 merilis daftar tahunan 100 wanita yang menginspirasi dan berpengaruh di seluruh dunia.

Tahun ini, Gonoi Rina masuk dalam daftar tersebut, yang mengungkapkan pelecehan seksual yang dideritanya dari beberapa rekan pria di katornya.

BBC mengatakan bahwa Gonoi "meluncurkan kampanye publik yang menyerukan pertanggungjawaban, sebuah tugas yang sulit dalam masyarakat yang didominasi oleh laki-laki di mana para korban pelecehan seksual menghadapi kecaman jika mereka berbicara."

BBC mengatakan bahwa kasusnya mendorong SDF untuk melakukan penyelidikan internal, yang berujung pada lebih dari 100 pengaduan pelecehan lainnya.

Salah satu yang masuk dalam daftar tersebut adalah mantan Ibu Negara AS Michelle Obama, yang turut bekerja untuk memastikan anak-anak perempuan mendapatkan edukasi lebih.

Pengacara hak asasi manusia Amal Clooney juga masuk dalam kategori ini. Mengingat bahwa dia juga menangani isu-isu hak asasi manusia, termasuk kejahatan terhadap kemanusiaan di Ukraina.
