"Japan Center for Weak Men" (日本弱者男性センター), a nonprofit in Japan, organised a "men-only" train passenger car on the Tokyo Sakura Tram (Toden Arakawa Line) last Saturday to address purported discrimination against men.
Established in July 2022, the Japan Weak Men's Center aims to support men in vulnerable situations, ranging from homelessness to unemployment and assistance for those falsely accused of crimes like domestic violence or molestation. A part of its ongoing advocacy is the permanent establishment of men-only train cars by significant railway companies, emphasising the absence of designated spaces for men in contrast to women-only train cars. Women-only cars were introduced in Japan in the early 2000s to combat lewd conduct, mainly groping, in trains.
