Women's voice in Japan

[Kurt Hansen]

Unfortunately its not hard to believe that 2.7 million people have no voice in the governing of Japan. Faced with an aging population and the problems that come with that, the government has no plan for immigration reform. I didn't know that they also clung to the idea that any non-japanese person wasn't allowed to vote. These are 2.7 million people who aren't represented by their government and have limited ways to have their views even brought up. Its brilliant that these women are standing up and trying to at least open communication that this probelem exists and foster a debate about it. Maybe it's time for the American educated Empress to start advocating, for these women and the 2.7 million others who cannot speak for themselves.
