4 Japanese Laws That Desperately Need To Be Amended For Women

How Outdated Legislation In Japan Could Be Holding Modern Women Back

https://savvytokyo.com/4-japanese-laws-that-desperately-need-to-be-amended-for-women/

Japan faces a notable challenge in closing its gender gap, ranking 73rd out of 190 economies, according to the World Bank’s Women, Business and the Law 2024 report. This report, released just before International Women’s Day, shines a spotlight on the disparities between men and women’s legal rights and protections. Japanese women enjoy only 72.5% of the rights that men do, a stark contrast to the OECD high-income economy average of 84.9%

The World Economic Forum (WEF) ranked Japan 118th out of 146 countries on gender equality in 2024, but with significant improvement noted in the political empowerment subindex.

holy crap dude it's not that deep, if you question it so much research it yourself

I dont question anything that I said or posted... I provided stats for my statement/comment and you are the individual choosing to repeatedly disagree with me without an facts, stats, logic, or information..... only your useless opinion.

So provide fact.... not opinion. What are the revenue totals for the companies you believe are better/bigger???

If you can provide legit facts I might agree w you. IDGAF about you opinion.

Reading comprehension matters. $$$$$28.5 BILLION with a B$$$$$$$. !!!!

In general, as a whole, food in Japan is better & healthier.

Conbini bentos in Japan are restaraunt quality in the US... in many cases even better than avg sit down restaraunts where you have to tip.

Gaming = Sony's most profitable business. Gaming has almost literary saved Sony from bankruptcy.

Mortality rate of all living species on the planet going to skyrocket in a handful of decades if humans to adjust/adapt to alternate energy sources.

Humans are the cockroaches of the universe.... we are willing killing our own planet and may end up knowingly drive our own species to extinction.

Kind of late to the party, but oh well. They should be putting a lot more time, effort, money into sea energy/generators.

Japan is an ISLAND nation after all (Japanese people LUV LUV LUV to say this... LOL)!!!!!

Japanese gov needs to do better on renewable energy and nuclear power safety/regulations instead of just telling people to 'save energy'.

Its crazy that this is 'BIG NEWS' ..... lol. Good for them!

I love fast food, junk food of all varieties, shapes and sizes. Sausage McMuffin my fav regular item at McD's. I hate waiting and I hate sitting arm length from total strangers practically yelling at each other to have a conversation.

Dude is a total freak, weirdo.

Hope she dumps his dumb ass now!!!

Japanese are obsessed with the idea or image of being super busy. When people continuously/obsessively tell me how busy they are I often reply "thats too bad, you should take some time to relax ".

The blank stares I get in return are priceless. :-)

Being busy, is not always being productive and being a perfectionist is anti productive.

Modern nuclear energy technology is relatively safe and reliable.

Japan refuses to modernize and upgrade is facilities. Fukushima did not meet sufficient safety standards and TEPCO did nothing to improve or mitigate the risks.

Now in 2024 another nuclear plant does not meet safety standards?????

TEPCO and the LDP need to allocate funding to modernize & upgrade ALL nuclear facilities in JAPAN.... ASAP!!!!

deep freeze it in the refrigerator to eat later 

@Jim Really? I don't know anybody who does this?

Same here. None of my in-laws or adult kids would willingly eat frozen rice.

I on the otherhand as a foreign barbarian have no problem w frozen rice. I do draw the line at veggy, potatoes, shrimp 'pizza?' tho. No sanks U..!

NHK is the media bullhorn for the LDP & JPN gov as a whole.

NHK rarely losses any lawsuits it's I volved I and offices are often located right next to city offices, police stations, fire stations.

Not to mention kickbacks and other shady dealing between NHK & politicians.

It's called HOARDiNG.

Japanese citizens can easily find, and blame, the person reasponsible for the shortage in any ordinary mirror or reflective surface.

FYI for 'Anti Tourist' crowd... JPN Gov wants to double tourism.

Deadpool is one of the very few Comic book movies/TV shows I've watched over the last 10, 25 years.

Previous two were funny, self deprecating, border line satire and well made.

Won't pay to see it in a theatre but I will def watch.

@jennie Understood, tho I dont necessarily agree.

There is little violent crime here... 100% true... however violent crimes that do occur often involve women and/or children. Dont have stats to back that up but at the moment, but t is my general feeling & observation from being here a couple plus decades.

Also 100% true women typically do not report crimes against them.

I always tell women the FIRST thing they need to do is call or go to the police station and make a report, even if/when the officer isn't interested to do making one.

@Jennie In general I love living & being in Japan. I have a daughter (and son) born & raised here. People here for a short time 'tourists' or for a handful of years should be careful not to glaze over the facts just because 'it hasnt happened to me' or 'I luv the culture'. Im not saying or assuming that is you... but I see/hear many foreigner stories/comments with that perspective/position.

For me Japan is safe. I wont feel afraid/intimidated anywhere in the country at any time of night/day which I cant say for my birth country.

Unfortunately, for women its another situation entirely and glossing over the facts (esp by women) enables and fuels the fallacy that 'Japan is super SAFE'. Yes, Japan is safer than many 3rd world countries, yes it is by & large safe for men of all ages, ethnicities. Not so much for females of any age or ethnicity.

Japan has the widest gender gap among developed countries, ranking 73rd among 190 economies in a World Bank report released on March 4.

Japanese women enjoy only 72.5 percent of the legal rights and protections that Japanese men do, according to the annual Women, Business and the Law 2024 report published ahead of International Women’s Day on March 8.

I'm always looking for articles about ocean turbine development, off shore wind turbine farms, home solar/wind generating advice/information for regular citizens.

I'm aways dissapointed because the Japanese government has no interest in any of these industries or practices.

They desperately want the Japanese population to keep relying on TEPCO and other monopolized faux public corporations.

Too late. Japan is far far FAAAAR behind many other industrialized countries.

Too late... Too slow... Too bad.

Try 2 3 maybe 4 times higher. Japan is not a safe country for women, period.

The Fukushima district court sentenced Shutaro Shibuya, Akito Sekine and Yusuke Kimezawa to two years in prison, suspended for four years, for “forced indecency” against Rina Gonoi during a military drill in 2021

Article should be posting all the abusers/criminals photos with names, not the victim's.
