On Wednesday, September 25, an event was held to raise crime awareness among Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) students and to ensure greater safety in their day-to-day lives. The event addressed commonly encountered crimes such as molestation (chikan) and unwanted photography (tosatsu).

A pamphlet on these crimes, titled "Chikan・Tosatsu ZERO Handbook" in English, was translated from Japanese into multiple languages by KUFS students and distributed at the event in cooperation with the Kyoto Prefectural Police's Railroad Police Unit. Kyoto's Ukyo Ward police department , who signed a community safety and security agreement with KUFS in 2017, also participated in the event.

Students in attendance listened to explanations of crimes which they are likely to see or experience, such as molestation, unwanted photography, stalking and illegal drug use, in order to deepen their knowledge in these areas and raise awareness to prevent crime.
