Organization for pornography and sexual exploitation survivors (PAPS) aims to debate, to investigate, and to consider the variety of human-rights violations and sexual violence issues which are occurring through or affected by the production, distribution and consumption of pornography. We put our aim to appeal this issue to society widely as well as to carry out the support for the victims who are being hurt by the harms of pornography. People such as workers of women’s protection facilities, child home institutions, school social workers, professionals of university education, writers, lawyers who are knowledgeable in matters of sexual violence and sexual harm, supporting staffs of human-trafficking victims are participating here at PAPS. We make use of our special knowledge of each field in tackling the various matters of sexual violence.

Chief Director
Ms. Kazuna Kanajiri
I’m involved in consultation support at PAPS. By the advent of the internet society, a different phase of sexual violence and sexual harm is now occurring. I am confronting various issues of “digital sexual violence” such as consulting support for those who are facing difficult issues in adult video appearance and the sex industry, as well as consulting support for revenge-pornography/child-pornography. I am from a totally different field (network and systems engineer) from consulting support. I want to make use of my background knowledge to tackle this issue.

Director
Ms. Chiyoko Yokota (Director of the women’s protection facility Izumi-ryo)
Among the users of women’s protection facilities, there are women who were forced to see pornography by perpetrators. If they don’t comply with demands for humiliating sexual acts, they receive violence. There are increasing materials of the cruelty of tormenting women in the films of pornography. Women are forced to do the same things as those videos. Women are being placed in situations of domination. The activities of PAPS don’t overlook such things, but confronts the problems directly. Earnestly believing that someday this trend will change the society!

本業では人と関わる事があっても表面上の綺麗な部分し か見られません。社会福祉に携わることで生活の中の苦しみや、楽しみなど普通では見えてこない人間の生の世界に触れることができました。縁あってぱっぷすと関わる事になり、その世界がさらに広がりました。認識不足であるかもしれないけれど、その中で少しずつ学ばせていただきます。そういった意味で応援を続けていきたい と思います。
