Shiori Ito has combined her personal story with her journalistic expertise to spark Japan’s #MeToo movement.
In her Oscar-nominated documentary, Black Box Diaries, Shiori investigates her own sexual assault in 2017 and her struggle to secure the prosecution of her high-profile offender, exposing Japan’s outdated sexual offence laws, judicial systems and societal taboos in the process.
In this exclusive interview with One Young World, Shiori discusses the making of Black Box Diaries, how winning the One Young World Journalist of the Year Award in 2022 gave her the power to continue sharing her story, and how speaking out about her sexual assault sparked landmark legal reform in Japan.
