The signatures were submitted by NPOS corporation "POSSE", which tackles labor problems, and when we called for signatures on the Internet from February this year, the signatures for 10,418 people were gathered by the 29th.
Transgender people who do not match the physical and mental genders may be discriminated during interviews or have their job offers canceled because of differences in their gender and appearance from their resumes during job hunting. There is a case to do.
Some companies, local governments, etc. are beginning to abolish the gender column, but NPO corporations leave the gender column in general resumes and demand for the abolition of about 10,000 people. The signature has been submitted to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
After submitting the signature, NPO representative Haruki Konno, who held a press conference, said, "The presence of a gender column in the resume leads to the compulsory spread of transgenderness, which inevitably leads to power harassment. I want you to know that."
Yusuke Sato, a transgender person who attended the press conference, said, ``When I submitted my resume without filling in the gender column, it was forcibly written and the appearance and gender differed I had a hard time hearing it. I want you to remove the gender column of your resume as soon as possible."
