Raelyn Campbell is Senior Program Officer for the Asia-Pacific Region at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,〔(US-Japan Relations in an Era of New Challenges ) U.S.-Japan Council, Japan Center for International Exchange, April 7, 2011〕 directing the Foundation’s engagement with the region, including innovative financing partnerships to support global immunization campaigns〔http://www.jica.go.jp/english/news/press/2011/110818.html〕 and global health R&D.〔https://ghitfund.org/about/mediacenter/pressdetail/detail/24〕 In her personal life, she has been involved in two high-profile lawsuits - one a criminal case in Japan, after being the victim of sexual assault, and the other a civil case in the United States, involving a computer of hers that had disappeared. In 1998, Campbell was the victim of a sexual attack in Japan. Her pursuit of justice as a result of this attack received significant coverage in English- and Japanese-language press in Japan and North America. In 2007, she filed a $54 million civil lawsuit against Best Buy for having lost her computer, which, she said, contained important identity information. This legal action also received extensive media coverage, including an appearance she made on ''The Today Show'', in 2008.〔(Fisher, Marc. "Another $54 Million Lawsuit: No Pants This Time" ) The Washington Post, February 14, 2008〕〔(Crosby, Jackie. "Lost laptop? Sue for millions!" ) Star Tribune, February 13, 2008〕〔("She's suing Best Buy for $54 million" ) The Today Show〕 Campbell's writings have appeared in ''The Japan Times''〔(Campbell, Raelyn. "Show North Koreans the carrot as well as the stick" ) The Japan Times, December 5, 2001〕 and the ''Japan Policy Research Institute ''Critique'.〔(Campbell. Raelyn. "Raped (by the Cops) in Tokyo" ) Japan Policy Research Institute Critique, Vol. VI No. 2 (February 1999)〕 ==Pursuit of victims' rights law in Japan after victimized in sexual assault== According to news reports, Campbell was attacked in Tokyo in a sexual assault in 1998.〔(Jeffs, Angela. "Assaulted woman calls for a victims' rights law" ) The Japan Times, March 28, 1999〕 She freed herself from her attacker, who then fled. She pursued him and managed to bring him to her landlord's office. Police were called and she filed a report. The police dragged their feet for months, until later, when in an appearance at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, Campbell held a news conference, during which she called for a victim's rights law in Japan.〔 The story was then reported by news organizations such as The Associated Press, and appeared in publications such as the Los Angeles Times〔(Prideaux, Eric. "In Japan, Sex-Crime Victims Endure in Silence" ) Los Angeles Times/Associated Press, January 16, 2000〕 and the Toronto Star.〔(Prideaux, Eric. "SEXUAL ASSAULTS DIRTY SECRET IN JAPAN" ) The Toronto Star/AP Wire Service, February 19, 2000〕 Ultimately, her attacker was convicted of sexual assault.〔(Fox, Michael H.
