As part of the survey, 9,000 people from 9 countries around the world, including Japan, were surveyed about their safety while running, and it was revealed that a total of 921 TP10T of female runners were concerned about their own safety. Among them, while 281 TP10T of male runners were afraid of being physically harmed while running, this figure was almost twice as high (511 TP10T) among female runners, indicating that female runners tend to suffer more from the physical and mental effects than male runners. And while 621 TP10T of men are aware of these problems, only 181 TP10T of men believe that men are responsible for them. In order for women to feel safe running, all runners need to increase their awareness and learn about alliances (support).

. we believe that sports should be about equality , and that safety is essential to achieving that. Our community and research has shown that safety is the most controversial topic when it comes to women and running . Unfortunately, women are still considered to be responsible for their own safety. Addressing this issue is a marathon, not a short run, so to speak, and our campaign will not see overnight solutions. Nevertheless, we believe that if we can encourage more men to become aware of their role as allies, we can make progress and hopefully create change.

Gender-based violence and discrimination in all its forms is a problem not only for those who love running, but also for each and every one of us living in today's society. Why don't you take this opportunity to rethink what you can do to help?
