This is the second event of this series, and we will be discussing the issue of \"Gender Equality\" in Japan. Japan has long lagged behind other countries in the World Economic Forum's annual report on gender equality, and the recently published 2018 report ranked the country 110th out of 149 countries; Japan still remains the worst-ranked of all G7 countries.
The country has also been slow to embrace the global #MeToo movement, and backlash was fierce against the women who broke their silence. A 2017 human rights report noted that sexual harassment in the workplace remains \"widespread\" in Japan, and the recent admission by Tokyo Medical University that it had lowered women applicants’ entrance exam scores shows that the issue is pervasive and complex.
Japan is certainly not the only country struggling with female empowerment. However, it cannot be denied that the issue contains unique cultural and societal components that make it such an uphill battle. At this event, we aim to discuss and develop new perspectives and solutions so that Japan can make continued progress on gender equality.
