Japanese Women MPs Push for More Restrooms to Address Sexism
Nearly 60 female Japanese lawmakers, including Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, have petitioned for more women’s toilets in parliament, highlighting ongoing gender inequality despite increased female representation. The current facilities are inadequate for the 73 women in the lower house, reflecting Japan’s broader struggles with gender equality in politics and society. The petition aims to address this issue as a symbol of progress and ongoing disparities.
