Abstract: In 2020, the Japanese government issued the “policy of strengthening the fight against sexual violence and crimes”. Based on this plan, the Japanese MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) has decided to strengthen relevant measures from the following four aspects to prevent children from becoming perpetrators, victims or bystanders of sexual violence: implementing life and safety education; formulating the Law on the Prevention of Sexual Violence by Teaching Staff against Children and Students, and severely punishing teachers who commit indecent acts; improving schools consultation system; enhancing social enlightenment education. The specific measures taken by Japan to prevent and control sexual violence against children can provide some reference and inspiration for China to solve this kind of problem.
