We have a @BBCThisWorld film going out tomorrow night. All creds to @SashaJAchilli Jane Corbin and Sarah Waldron. It's a cracking narrative that sheds real light on Iran's role in the chaos of the Middle East.

Congratulations @BBCThisWorld and @truevisiontv on an important film. And especially @photograshiori whose bravery is remarkable in a society where ‘no means yes’ as one contributor so powerfully puts it #JapansSecretShame
The number of rapes reported to the police is fifty times higher (proportionately) in the UK than in Japan. Is this because Japanese women are afraid to speak out? Japan’s Secret Shame tonight 9pm BBC2

standard.co.uk
From where we sit, it’s easy to assume that #MeToo has had a similar impact all around the developed world. Far from it.
