The Big Themes: 1. International Women's Day - IWD in Japan, 2. Getting the FIRST Woman Mayor in Office in Nagoya City, 3. Climate Change (Pandemics and climate crises stem from the same cause. It's environmental destruction by capitalism), 4. Pandemic Recovery Japan, 5. Children's Welfare, and 6. Gender Equity
โHappy International Women's Day 2021!โ It was an honor to have the opportunity to mark this Women's Day with a conversation with Japanese friends of IWD, catch up with what's happening there this year with respect to gender equality, and talk with a woman who is embodying the motto for IWD 2021 - "Choose to Challenge" - as she campaigns to become the first female major of Nagoya, Japan's 4th largest city in one of the country's most conservative prefectures. I am also hugely grateful to my guests for agreeing to have this challenging conversation in their second language because after 15 years away, my Japanese sucks!
With my guests, Keiko Ogata ๅฐพๅฝขใใใๆง and Akane Kurihara ๆ ๅ่ๆง, we talk about Keiko's current campaign in the Nagoya Mayoral election coming up this April 25th and her 4 main campaign planks, all requiring more thorough input, involvement and decision-making by women at every level of power.
Like elsewhere, the 2020 Pandemic in Japan exposed many social issues around economic and gender equality and the outcomes have been dire. A new and urgent awareness has been growing over the last few years and activism around International Women's Day is back on the calendar in Japan, with numerous events happening around the country highlighting the need for change.
