Feminism in Japan: Survival Dilemma of Women

The Global Gender Gap Report, published annually by the World Economic Forum, scores the inequalities experienced between men and women in four categories. This year it was published that Japan ranked 116th - the lowest among the G7 countries. The status of women in Japan rose extremely rapidly in the 1960s with the feminist movement, but it also fell with the bubble economy. 

In recent years, although many feminist campaigners have been fighting for women’s emancipation, the results have not been significant. In this forum, we will have a look at the history of the feminism progress and discuss its related issues that exist in modern day Japan.
