I met Lena at BSides London; she's an exceptional, very talented, enthusiastic and passionate human being

sadly, it wasn't valued in Japanese #InfoSec society, esp. when calling out sexual harassment & because of that Lena was ostracised. she deserves better than this

sharing her msg in hope someone in #Fediverse would be interested in hiring her outside of Japan. reposts appreciated

Lena Yu (LinkedIn): Hi everyone, I need help to start a new life outside of Japan. All my conference activities, creating Malware Village, Malmons, research, projects, etc. was a way for me to create opportunities, so me and those in similar situations can finally have the freedom to go anywhere their heart desires. I want to work on the things I love, while being physically and emotionally away from the painful memories in Japan I am deeply unhappy with Japan’s lack of respect for young female talents and its backward-minded society. Misogyny, victim blaming, power abuse, sexual harassment, ageism, etc. It’s not improving, and having hope will only lead to disappointment I feel truly happy and alive when I’m overseas for conferences, but the depression hits as soon as I return to Japan, and it is eroding my mental well-being In Japan, some people have threatened to withhold “help”, support, cancel sponsorships and deals, blacklist me, and punish me even further for speaking out against sexism and harassment. This is regarding the incident, that got me fired and banned from Japanese security conferences for standing up against harassment towards women Also, they have threatened to withhold support towards my friends and colleagues in Japan who has been sympathetic towards me I could just take the easy route, and shut up about all the injustice and pretend it never happened. But, that dishonors all the things I fought so hard for. I can never forgive myself if I did that
I don’t want “help” from people who threaten to withhold it unless I obey them. I came this far without their “help”, so keep the damn “help”. Although I love malware analysis and cybersecurity, I no longer want to contribute to a society like this. I want to be completely free from Japan, to a place where they have no power over me. I want to prioritize my own happiness and well-being. I dedicated my life to improving Japan’s security, but in return, I was met with only disrespect. When I finally opened up, people in Japan were more upset about my reaction to the mistreatment than about the mistreatment itself. If you know of any opportunities that sponsor visas, please let me know. Thank you all. My email: lena.yu@malwarevillage.org
