In the wake of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, a seminar was held by the parties concerned to create a work environment that takes sexual minorities into consideration.
At the Tokyo Games, the idea of "diversity and harmony" was set up, and companies involved in the Games, such as product delivery, are required to consider sexual minorities for the first time.
On the 5th, an online seminar was held by the exchange base "Pride House Tokyo Legacy" established by a party group of sexual minorities, and 45 people from 25 sponsor companies of the tournament participated.
At the seminar, Airi Murakami, a 15-man rugby women's national team who announced that she had a partner of the same sex in April, said, "There is no environment in the team to tell the truth, so I kill myself and play. I've been doing it, but since the manager treated everyone equally, I was able to announce it, and now I can play with confidence. "
Participants also commented, "I don't have enough knowledge, so I'm wondering if I can call myself'Arai', which indicates an understanding person." Transgender parties can deepen their understanding together without fear of making mistakes. He answered that it is important to create an atmosphere.
Murakami said, "I hope that the Tokyo tournament will become a switch and the number of people who understand it will increase, and a good society will be created after the tournament."
