In response to the remarks made by Chairman Mori of the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games that he is disdainful of women, signing activities are being carried out to consider the treatment of Chairman Mori and prevent recurrence. I'm showing you.
Mr. Mori, chairman of the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, said last week that "a board with many women takes time," and then withdrew and apologized.
The signing activity has been carried out on the Internet from the 4th of this month, led by three women in their 20s who are working to promote gender equality, and as of 5 pm on the 8th, more than 135,000 signatures have been collected.
Among them, the remarks are prejudiced and discriminated against women and are unacceptable, so the Japanese Olympic Committee and others will consider the treatment of Chairman Mori and implement concrete measures to prevent recurrence so that such remarks will not be repeated. In addition, in line with the guidelines of the Japan Sports Agency, we are requesting that the ratio of female directors be 40% or more.
In connection with this, a video was distributed in which 25 women who agreed expressed their opinions, and in this video, "I myself have understood and accepted it. I would like to make this statement an opportunity for society as a whole to reconsider." Has been sent and has been played more than 70,000 times.
Kazuna Yamamoto, one of the people who called for the signature, said, "I want you to face the Organizing Committee firmly, not just for individuals. In Japanese society, regardless of gender, there are situations where it is difficult to work without knowing. I want to make it an opportunity to create a society where people can easily notice and speak up. "
