TOKYO, Dec 2 - Japanese activists on Monday called for drastic steps by the government, companies and universities to stamp out sexual harassment of job-hunting students, a problem they said lurks in the shadows because victims fear speaking out.
Despite some diversification in recruitment, many Japanese firms tend to hire new graduates, who begin the job hunt while still at university. "Today, harassment against job-hunting students, especially sexual harassment against female students, is a serious issue that could interfere with life choices on their career path," the group said in a statement demanding action.
