YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWith throbbing lights and giant photos of well-groomed men, Japan’s host clubs are hard to miss. These bars, where women pay to drink and flirt with men, are a cornerstone of the country’s red-light districts. But a sweeping new law aims to rein in their darker side, following reported cases of emotional manipulation and exploitation. CNN’s Hanako Montgomery follows up on her report last year of women driven into debt – and even sex work – by their host club obsessions. #CNN #News #Japan
