Japan needs a LGBT Anti-Discrimination Law equivalent to
the standards of other industrially-developed countries.
In contemporary Japan, people are bullied and cornered just for being LGBT.
Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity is an innate quality rather than a choice.
Many children who suffer a lack of understanding
from their friends or families feel compelled to
commit suicide. LGBT Anti-Discrimination Laws
have been legislated in developed countries including
all EU members, UK, Australia, and America (in some states).
The United Nations have followed suit, and Anti-Discrimination Laws
are now becoming a global standard.
Developing a diversity-conscious environment supports not only
those children who have difficulties with their sexual orientation or
gender identity, but also other non-LGBT children to become more thoughtful and accepting.
We seek to achieve a LGBT Anti-Discrimination Law
equivalent to the standards of other industrially-developed countries.
LGBT stands for L(Lesbian), G(Gay),
B(Bisexual), T(Transgender).
Lesbian refers to women who are attracted to women. Gay refers to men who are attracted to men. Bisexual refers to a person who is attracted to both women and men, or regardless of gender. Transgender refers to a person whose sense of gender identity does not correspond with their birth-assigned sex and wishes to be treated and live by a different gender. A person with strong gender dysphoria could obtain a diagnosis of “gender identity disorder (GID)” and receive medical support, however, not all persons with gender dysphoria wish to access medical treatment.
Policy assessment
We advise and evaluate a wide range of policies by referring to past cases, data, views of experts (lawyers, researchers etc.), and track records of cooperation with local governments.
Legal support and
consulting for private
businesses
Based on the latest trends in legal policy captured through our wide range network of administrations and legislative offices, we back up efforts for LGBT-related activities. We also provide consulting for other research, planning, and services.
