Renowned actress Haruka Kinami is taking on the lead role in a drama, portraying a housewife struggling with moral harassment. The upcoming show promises to shed light on this societal issue, unheard of in many societies, yet deeply rooted in Japanese culture. It's expected to explore the intricacies of interpersonal relationships in the context of Japanese households, offering insights into challenges wives encounter.
Moral Harassment, or "Moral Harassment" (モラハラ), is a relatively recognized concern in Japan, especially within family settings. It encompasses a range of emotionally abusive behaviors. While not always illegal, it's becoming increasingly intolerable socially. This show, by portraying a woman's plight and resilience, aims to further raise awareness and encourage discussions around this issue.
In the US or EU, mental abuse in family settings also exists, but it's often addressed more directly and can be legally punished. Raising awareness is considered important, but the focus is often on recognizing one's rights, encouraging victims to come forward, and providing them with proper abuse support resources.
