After she left the army she started a public campaign in 2022, demanding truth and a formal apology after she was sexually assaulted by drunken male officers during training in 2021. Attempts were made to brush her allegations and she received anonymous threats. However in September 2022 the [[Japan Ground Self-Defense Force]] acknowledged that her allegations were accurate and the four male officers apologised to her in person.<ref name=ref1>{{cite web|url=https://www.ft.com/content/8428d275-a9ba-46e7-9c39-78b847c5cef7 |title=The FT’s 25 most influential women of 2022|work=[[Financial Times]]|date=1 December 2022|access-date=1 December 2022}}</ref><ref name=ref2>{{cite web|url=https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2022/10/eb6c02d4a47b-focus-ex-sdf-member-vows-to-move-on-from-sexual-assault-but-pain-wont-heal.html |title=FOCUS: Ex-SDF member vows to move on from sexual assault but pain won't heal|work=Kyodo News|date=19 October 2022|access-date=8 December 2022}}</ref><ref name=ref3>{{cite web|url=https://en.friday.news/article/9307 |title=The Gruesome Sexual Harassment Suffered by a 22-Year-Old Former Female Self-Defense Force Officer|work=Friday Digital|date=11 August 2022|access-date=8 December 2022}}</ref> In December 2022 she was named by the [[Financial Times]] as one of the 25 most influential women of 2022.<ref name=ref1 /> ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Gonoi, Rina}} [[Category:Japanese military people]] [[Category:1999 births]] [[Category:Sexual abuse victims]] [[Category:BBC 100 Women]] {{Bio-stub}}
