A counseling session is being held in Tokyo for women who are having difficulty living due to the effects of the new coronavirus, which has reduced their income and worsened domestic violence.
The counseling session was held at Okubo Park in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo by members of women's support groups and lawyers, and about 100 women's supporters gathered while it was raining.
At the consultation booth set up in the tent, lawyers, labor specialists, and counselors who support victims of DV = domestic violence are available after 10 am, and women are consulting one after another. I'm visiting.
Supplies for free distribution were lined up at the venue, daily necessities such as food and sanitary napkins such as vegetables and dried noodles, and tulip flowers were prepared to make you feel a little cheerful.
One of the organizers, Chie Matsumoto, said, "Some people say that it is difficult to consult with many male supporters, so this time I went with a female supporter. I am worried about living, labor, domestic violence, child-rearing, unwanted pregnancy, etc. I want you to talk while drinking hot tea. "
The counseling session will be held at Okubo Park in Shinjuku Ward from 10 am to 5 pm for two days on the 13th and 14th, and will be available in foreign languages such as English and Vietnamese, as well as sign language.
