Set against a backdrop of pervasive sexual inequality in Japanese society-on a scale that makes Japan an outlier in Asia as well as the rest of the advanced democratic world-this book offers a snapshot of Japan's contemporary feminist movement and the issues it faces, including, primarily, sexual violence and harassment of women and girls. The six feminist activists interviewed to create this snapshot all work toward eradicating sexual violence against women and girls-they are: Kitahara Minori (instigator of the Flower Demo and public commentator), Yamamoto Jun (activist for sex crime law amendments), Nit? Yumeno (advocate for sexually exploited girls), Tsunoda Yukiko (feminist lawyer), Mitsui Mariko (former politician and current activist), and Yang-Ching-Ja (comfort women activist). Emma Dalton is lecturer in Japanese Studies in the Department of Languages and Cultures at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia. She is the author of Sexual Harassment in Japanese Politics (2021) and Women and Politics in Contemporary Japan (2015). Caroline Norma lectures in the Master of Translating and Interpreting degree at RMIT University in Australia. She is the author of Comfort Women and Post-Occupation Corporate Japan (2018) and The Japanese Comfort Women and Sexual Slavery During the China and Pacific Wars (2015). 410 0$aPalgrave Macmillan Studies on Human Rights in Asia,$x2752-4329 606 $aIdentity politics 606 $aSex 606 $aFeminism 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aPolitics and Gender 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aFeminism and Feminist Theory 606 $aPolitics and Human Rights 615 0$aIdentity politics. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 14$aPolitics and Gender. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aFeminism and Feminist Theory. 615 24$aPolitics and Human Rights. 676 $a305.420952 700 $aDalton$b Emma$01072529 702 $aNorma$b Caroline 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910586632703321 996 $aVoices from the Contemporary Japanese Feminist Movement$93564425 997 $aUNINA
