On 3 December 2021, Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) Japan held its first Women in Japan webinar series, ‘Women in Japan: Current Roles and Expectations’ which focused on providing an overview of the current gender environment in the three sections of politics, business, and society. It featured prominent speakers (politicians, journalists, and academics) from Japan in these three areas.

KAS Japan’s ‘Women in Japan’ webinar series aims to explore current developments in Japan’s gender environment. Although Japan faces a variety of gender-related issues, our event series will concentrate specifically on the political and economic fields, where the Japanese government has been focusing policy efforts for some time without significant success, and where Japan lags behind other countries. We will also address social issues which might be underlying contributory factors in these areas.
