Regarding the establishment of the "Children's Office", which is responsible for centralized child policy, Prime Minister Suga will consider an organization at the House of Representatives Welfare and Labor Committee to integrate measures that span multiple ministries such as child abuse issues. I showed my thoughts.
In this, Prime Minister Suga was asked about his thoughts on the establishment of the "Children's Office," but "Given the future of Japan, many people understand that children are a national treasure. I think that it is the role of politics to promote this policy. "
On top of that, he said, "The most important thing in the Children's Office is that we must eliminate the number of children who are abused. Each ministry and agency is completely vertical, and we need to think from the perspective of the child." He expressed his intention to consider an organization to integrate measures that span multiple ministries and agencies, such as the issue of abuse.
