Free telephone counseling sessions are being held all over the country for people who are forced to live a difficult life due to the effects of the new coronavirus.

This counseling session is held by an executive committee made up of lawyers and labor unions, and about 10 people in charge are in charge at the venue in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.



A woman in her thirties who works as a dispatched worker said, "I'm using the national rent support system because I'm running out of work in Corona, but the deadline is coming soon. I'm worried that I can't rely on anyone." The person in charge explained about loans and livelihood protection systems.



According to the executive committee, consultation meetings have been held eight times since April last year, and a total of more than 10,000 consultations have been received, but due to the recent rapid spread of infection, we lost our jobs again. It means that the number of cases in which people are in need of life is increasing.



Mr. Satoshi Nakano of Zenroren, one of the executive committees, said, "There are many voices saying that it is becoming more serious and I can not live. Anything is fine, so please do not hold it alone and consult with me." I did.

The phone number is 0120-157930

Consultations will be accepted at "0120-157930" until 10:00 pm on the 21st, and a consultation meeting will be held in October.
