As disasters such as Typhoon No. 19 continue, shelter management that considers women and child-rearing families is not thorough, so the government established a study group by experts to examine the issues, and this year We will revise the guidelines and inform each local government again.
Based on the lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake, the government made guidelines six years ago so that local governments could manage shelters that were friendly to women, children, and families. It has been pointed out that there were cases where women's dressing spaces were not installed.
For this reason, the government has newly established a study group consisting of specialists in disaster prevention, crisis management and gender equality, and will re-examine the issues of shelters from the perspective of women and child-rearing families.
The first meeting of the review meeting will be held on the 28th, and the government will consider necessary responses based on the discussions at the review meeting, and will compile new guidelines during the current fiscal year and inform each local government again. .
At the press conference, Mr. Hashimoto, the Minister for Women's Empowerment, said, “We need to make more efforts from the perspective of those who have infants who are raising children. We want to work hard.”
