Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe can help end stalking and violence against women in Japan. Ask him to set up a taskforce to investigate. Sign My Petition Dear Naresh - I won the Miss International beauty pageant in December 2012. Ever since then, I have been stalked, intimidated, and blackmailed.  My stalker even tried to abduct me from a TV studio, made threatening calls to my family and told my parents that I could wind-up dead.  He even hired private investigators to stalk me. I fear for my life and now have 24-hour security.  I went to the Japanese police with 30 pieces of evidence. They did nothing.  I went to the Japanese courts to ask for a restraining order. They, too, did nothing.  What’s worse is that I’m not alone. Many women suffer because for centuries Japan has been plagued by a “culture of silence” toward crimes against women.  However, there is hope. The current Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is a strong and vocal supporter of women’s rights.  Mr. Abe’s leadership on this issue would be a game-changer -- and that’s why I’m asking him to establish a taskforce to investigate stalking and violence against women in Japan.  My petition already has more than 1 lakh signatures and the endorsement of Mr. Abe’s wife, Akie. Sign my petition. Japan is very sensitive to its reputation overseas -- if we raise our voices together in a global outcry, I know Mr. Abe won’t be able to ignore it.  Please help me change my country so that women can start enjoying the economic and moral benefits of a truly equal society.  Sign my petition and forward my mail to your friends.  Thank you for taking action, Ikumi Yoshimatsu via Change.org Sign My Petition This email was sent by Change.org to Nksagar_1@yahoo.com.
