Your “understanding” and “action”
can change “women’s future.”
Child marriage is a result of diverse social factors such as poverty, inadequate education, weak law enforcement caused by weak legal systems, and norms. Its root lies in gender inequality, which is common across various issues faced by modern Japanese society. In this sense, child marriage is not simply an issue of concern in geographically distant countries, but one that is also prevalent in Japan.
To eliminate child marriage, one solution is to advocate for women’s empowerment worldwide. Understanding child marriage from various perspectives, thinking about what we can do, and taking action will help transform not only the future of women worldwide but also our own.
