There have been criticisms from overseas human rights groups and others regarding the statements that can be taken as women's disdain for Chairman Mori of the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Of these, the international human rights organization "Human Rights Watch" issued a statement on the 5th, pointing out that Chairman Mori's remarks are "gold medal-class women's disdain."



"Chairman Mori's remarks indicate that the Japanese government should immediately embark on reforming issues such as discrimination against women and contempt. It is important to take action from the sports world as the first step," said Japan. We called for efforts from the sports world to improve the status of women in society.



In addition, an international human rights NGO, "Human Rights Now," said in a statement released on the 8th that Chairman Mori's remarks violate the Olympic Charter, which stipulates the prohibition of sexism, "The Tokyo Games are sexist remarks. There is a possibility that the disgraceful legacy that the Organizing Committee has prepared and held will remain. ”The Organizing Committee is requesting Chairman Mori to resign.



In addition, the Pride House Tokyo Consortium, a voluntary organization that appeals for understanding of sexual minorities, submitted an open letter to the Organizing Committee.



In this, the Organizing Committee is working on preventive measures against discriminatory behavior and actions at the Games, saying that "discrimination regarding sex still persists in the sports world." I asked you to answer.
