To Japanese women【Don’t give up!】 About women’s sports workshops and their uploaded reruns【Beautiful stories from far away From Japan】
2023-11-26 ｜ TOSHI
Hello everyone, this is TOSHI. I’m a Japanese woman.
After moving to Tokyo, I participated in yet another event for the first time!
It was held on Saturday, October 28th, last month in the Tokyo Women’s plaza (東京ウィメンズプラザ) in Jingumae, Shibuya Ward.
“CULTIVATOR Women’s Sports workshops② : Our Past, Present, and Future.”（カルティベータ「私たちの過去・現在・未来」女性スポーツ勉強会②）
The speakers were Kimie Iwata（岩田喜美枝）, Sandra Haefelin（サンドラ・ヘフェリン）, Yu Munakata（宗像雄）, Mariko Ogawa（小川真理子）, Yuichi Sugino（杉野裕一）, Yasuko Miyajima（宮嶋泰子）, and Friba Razayee（フリバ・ラザイー）.

❙Japan is a difficult country for women to live in, and there are cases where people don’t even realize it
This is my first time participating in a workshop like this.
“Japan’s gender gap index ranks 125th in the world.
Japan is a difficult country for women to live in, but there are many cases where women are not even aware of this.
In order to solve sports problems, let’s understand the structure of larger society and think about ways to solve problems together.
This time, we will listen to stories from people with a lot of experience.
In the sports world, Ms. Iwata has changed the training environment for women as a director of the All Japan Judo Federation. (…)”

❙“workshops” with a forward-looking atmosphere
“Japan is a difficult country for women to live in, but there are many cases where women don’t even realize that.”
I agree with this, but the “workshops” had a consistently cheerful and forward-looking atmosphere.
❙ Even their uploaded reruns of the workshops too!
Everyone’s opinions, including men’s, were constructive and I felt comfortable listening to them.
It was very interesting to listen to the comparative culture of Germany and Japan by Sandra Haefelin, who is half-Japanese and half-German and can be considered a pioneer of “half-Japanese studies,” which I have introduced many times on this site.

In addition, Kimie Iwata, a former director of the All Japan Judo Federation, expressed her opinions as an outside director and how to express opposing opinions.
The words also had a lot of gravity.
You can see Friba Razayee, who is an Afghanistan women’s rights activist.

It may be misunderstood that it is a women’s workshop, but
“The world can be better, there is hope.”
It was a wonderful feeling of hope.
Personally, I felt a sense of stagnation in the current situation, but I was inspired by the activists.
Although it was worth listening to, the time passed quickly. It was a fulfilling day.
There are also uploaded reruns of this workshops (1100yen), (for a limited time). Please definitely check it out! ⇓⇓
A rebroadcast that will warm your heart! “Our Past, Present, and Future” on October 28th
