25. While acknowledging legal and other measures by the State party to address violence against women, the Committee isconcerned about the prevalence of violence against women and girls and about women's apparent reluctance to seek assistance from existing public institutions. It is concerned that the Law for the Prevention of Spousal Violence and the Protection of Victims currently does not cover forms of violence other than physical violence. It is also concerned that the penalty for rape is relatively lenient and that incest is not defined explicitly as a crime under the Penal Code but is dealt with indirectly under a number of different penal provisions. The Committee is further concerned about the particular situation of foreign women who experience domestic violence and whose immigration status might depend on their living together with their spouse. The Committee is concerned that fear of repatriation might be a deterrent for those women to seek assistance or take steps to seek separation or divorce. While appreciative of the comprehensive information provided by the State party with respect to the measures it has taken before and after the Committee's consideration of the second and third periodic reports of the State party with respect to the issue of “wartime comfort women”, the Committee notes the ongoing concerns about the issue.
26. The Committee calls upon the State party to intensify its efforts to address the issue of violence against women, including domestic violence, as an infringement of their human rights. In particular, the Committee urges the State party to broaden the Law for the Prevention of Spousal Violence and the Protection of Victims so as to include different forms of violence, increase the penalty for rape and include incest as a specific crime in its penal legislation, and implement policies in accordance with the Committee’s general recommendation 19, in order to prevent violence; provide protection, support and other services to the victims; and punish offenders. The Committee recommends that revocation of residence permits of foreign but separated married women who experience domestic violence be undertaken only after a full assessment of the impact of such measures on those women. The Committee recommends that the State party endeavour to find a lasting solution for the matter of “wartime comfort women".

26. The Special Rapporteur on violence against women in 2003 reported, inter alia, that Japan had still not accepted legal responsibility for the “comfort women” who were kept in military sexual slavery during the Second World War. It had also not punished many of the perpetrators responsible for such crimes.96 CEDAW in 2003 noted recurrent concerns about the issue of "wartime comfort women" and recommended that Japan endeavour to find a lasting solution for this matter.97 CAT in 2007 regretted the dismissal of cases filed by victims of military sexual slavery during the Second World War for reasons related to statutory limitations. Japan should review its rules and provisions on the statute of limitations and bring them fully in line with the Convention, so that acts amounting to torture and ill-treatment, including attempts to commit torture and acts by any person which amount to complicity or participation in acts of torture are investigated, prosecuted and punished without time limitations.
