According to United Nations statistics, since the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out in late February, about 14 million people have fled Ukraine, of which more than 1,000 ended up in Japan, 758 of whom are women.

Not long after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Yufumi publicly stated that he was willing to accept refugees from Ukraine. However, this move caused a series of chain reactions. Global Times quoted "Russia Today" news as saying that Japanese Justice Minister Furuta Masahisa said that Ukrainian refugees who went to Japan due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict have been informed that "their visas do not allow them to work in adult entertainment venues."

According to United Nations statistics, since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in late February, approximately 14 million people have fled Ukraine, and more than 1,000 of them ended up in Japan. 758 of them are women. These refugees can stay in Japan for up to a year through visa status and do paid work to support themselves.

It is worth noting that most of these Ukrainian refugees do not have professional skills, and many of their original assets were destroyed by the war or abandoned when they fled. In addition, there is a big gap between the culture of Eastern Europe, where Ukraine is located, and Japan, which is in Asia. For most refugees, even the most basic language communication is a problem, so many refugees can only work in the most basic jobs. Manual labor at the bottom.

Previously, Japanese media reported that a 34-year-old Ukrainian woman went to the countryside of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, and became a "farmer laborer" by doing manual labor. But in fact, people who can engage in manual labor are very lucky, and most refugees rarely have such "luck". According to the United Nations Refugee Agency and UNICEF, women and children, who make up the majority of Ukrainian refugees, have become the hardest hit areas for human trafficking, organ transplantation and sexual exploitation. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe stated that since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, online searches for sex workers from Ukraine have surged by 600% worldwide...

As we all know, Japan has a very developed adult entertainment industry, mainly Businesses include the service industry, tourism, film, television and animation industries, a considerable part of which are related to the erotic industry. The adult entertainment industry generates net income for Japan of up to 60 billion to 100 billion U.S. dollars every year, accounting for more than 1% of Japan's GDP. Judging from data released by the Japanese government in 2021, the country's defense expenditure budget is only more than 50 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to the adult entertainment industry "easily supporting" the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. The low threshold of Japan's adult entertainment industry has attracted some desperate refugees.

However, once Ukrainian refugees flood into Japan’s adult entertainment industry and start filming AV or providing other pornographic service-related jobs, it will not be a good thing for Japan. On the one hand, this will impact and crowd out the "jobs" of Japan's existing employed population; on the other hand, it will bring huge pressure from international public opinion to the Japanese government. After all, for most countries, the adult entertainment industry is not a glorious industry. If refugees engage in this industry for a living, the outside world will undoubtedly label the Japanese government as "forcing girls into prostitution."

At present, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is far from over, and the Ukrainian refugee crisis will continue to ferment, which will also bring greater challenges to relevant countries. Since the Japanese government does not allow these refugees to enter the adult entertainment industry, it is best to think about how to better resettle the refugees and arrange for them to enter other industries.
