- Press on till Japan changes. -

We have come this far one person at a time, one by one.
We’ve re-connected with each other, so we can see the issues and change them for the better.
Yet, the gender gap has not narrowed despite the advancement of women in society.
Even though there is now a rainbow of different types of families, individuals still cannot choose their own surnames.
Inequalities and disparities experienced by those with disabilities remain even now unresolved.
Even though the importance of diversity is now widely understood, inclusion continues to be lacking.
The same is true for the LGBTQ community. Although the word has definitely gained recognition,
our reality is that our situation has not changed that much.
Bullying, discrimination, prejudice still exists. Our voices are drowned out.
The partnership system has expanded, but marriage equality has yet to be granted.
Can Japan really change in this rapidly changing world?
It is precisely because we can now see these issues clearly that we feel frustrated at the stagnation.
So now is the time to raise our voices once again.
Tell them we are here to stay.
24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in every generation, in every place.
That we have been and will continue to live together.
Let's keep marching on until the landscape changes.
For a future where everyone of all diversities can live equitably and happily.
