The Constitutional Democratic Party wants to build a non-discriminatory society that recognizes diversity, and is seeking the realization of a selective marital surname system and a legal system that enables same-sex marriage.
The Constitutional Democratic Party has decided to start examining the merits and demerits of the LDP's presidential election soon, saying that the debate over the economic policy "Abenomics" of former Prime Minister Abe is insufficient.
On the other hand, when he gained power in the upcoming House of Representatives election, he summarized policies in areas related to gender equality and human rights, hoping to build a non-discriminatory society that recognizes diversity.
Among them, it is said that a system of selective surnames for married couples will be realized at an early stage so that couples can give their surnames before marriage if they wish.
It also aims to enact an equality law to eliminate discrimination against sexual minority people called LGBT and to realize a legal system that enables marriage between the same sex.
In addition, the company plans to establish a new human rights institution to deal with all types of discrimination, including slander on the Internet, and expand support for women with difficulties such as victims of sexual violence.
Edano has decided to announce these efforts on the 13th, and would like to reflect them in the promise of the House of Representatives election.
