Japan fares badly in international gender equality indices, especially for female political representation. The scarcity of women in politics reflects the status of women and also exacerbates it. Based on interviews with female politicians around the country from all levels of government, this book sheds light on the sexist and sometimes dangerous environments in Japanese legislative assemblies. These environments reflect and recreate broader sexual inequalities in Japanese society and are a hothouse for sexual harassment. Like many places around the world, workplace sexual harassment laws and regulations in Japan often fail to protect women from being harassed. Even more, in the 'workplace' of the legislative council, such regulations are typically absent. This book discusses what this means for women in politics in the context of a broader culture whereby victims of sexual violence are largely silenced." -- back cover. 650 0 $a Sexual harassment $z Japan. 650 0 $a Sexual harassment of women $z Japan. 650 0 $a Women $x Political activity $z Japan. 650 0 $a Women politicians $z Japan. 651 0 $a Japan $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Sexual harassment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114857 650 7 $a Sexual harassment of women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114883 650 7 $a Women $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734136 650 7 $a Women politicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178383 651 7 $a Japan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9789811637957 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021021328.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C43610F8A5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
