Case １： Post WWll 、 Prostitute MariWhen Mari was 21 years old, she was raped at the US

base where she was hired as a typist.

She quit her job and became a house maid and hostess at a bar, then became a prostitute.

After she had baby, she got mental illness and hospitalized many times.

During 30 years, she could not sleep well.

In day time, she slept in movie theater and waking up all night at 24hours café.

She is suffering from paranoia:

She is always dreaming that she was raped by stranger at her apartment.

Case ２： Single mother prostitute, SayaSaya, 32 years old 、 a hospital nurse, is mother of a 2nd grade daughter. She has been a prostitute for two years. Due to her husband's domestic violence, Saya had divorced. After divorce, she got depression. After she quit her job because of her illness, she became a prostitute.

It did not take a long time to be a prostitute after she quitted her job due to her illness.

She used adult community site.

“I wanted someone help me. I wanted someone listening to me!” After I got telephone call from a man through the site, I was happy,then cried and met him at a restaurant , then went to a hotel with him.

I do not prostitute myself. I just burrow money from men.”

Conclusions According to Okinawa prefecture, after Korean/Vietnam war,

there were 7400 prostitutes in Okinawa.

What if they produce two children, 15,000 sons and daughters will be influenced by their mothers. It impacts Okinawan society.

More than 70 % of prostitutes chose it because of the poverty.

The number of the prostitutes of single mothers is increasing. In 2013, there were 19 single mothers out of 100.

In 2013,there are 38 out of 100 prostitutes who abused by parents , there are 19 out of 100 prostitutes who experienced self-injurious behaviors., and there are 24 out of 100 prostitutes who have mental illness. It might be a big problem.

Most prostitutes love their children and do not want to separate from children. They have strong mother’s love! It becomes the situation more complicated.

They believe and expect that they can meet gentleman in adult community site and can save her from the miserable situation.

Due to the thread of DV, most of single mothers do not want to contact her x-husband. Therefore, again, It becomes the situation more complicated.

Most prostitutes does not have strong self-esteem.

We believe that father is the central figure of the family.He is the head of the family.In turn, the family is the foundation of the society.

Father school aims to teach healthy family values in the midst of dysfunction, miscommunication and broken relation ship.

Okinawa Father school affiliates with Okinawa DV shelter and open school for men twice a year.
