Human trafficking & sexual enslavement revealed by 🇯🇵 #Kyoto's ex- #maiko herself. Kiyoha exposed her #MeToo that her 'owners' brainwashed underaged girls to serve their 'customers' by forcing them to drink alcohol and bathe with them naked. In English👇
"I may be vanished for doing this, but this is the reality of being a maiko. At 16, I was forced to drink tons of alcohol & bathe with my customers (I escaped). Tell me if this passes as a 'traditional culture'. The photo shows me winning a drinking match against a customer."/1 
"Hard to believe this was in 2017. I might get killed for tweeting this, but nothing will change unless someone lets this out. I didn't want to keep quiet about others attempting suicide or going mental like every single year. Kyoto's a scary place. But don't get mad at me ♡"/2
