Comment on “Missing Japan, But Not Feasible Right Now: Reasons Why Sexual Minorities Choose Canada” [in Japanese]
On August 17, 2023, Professor Maiko Ichihara of the Graduate School of Law commented on the Asahi Shimbun article, “Missing Japan, But Not Feasible Right Now: Reasons Why Sexual Minorities Choose Canada.” The article is about the Japanese people who found it difficult to live in Japanese society and moved to Canada, which is considered to be a better place to live for sexual minorities. Professor Ichihara commented that respect for all the people, regardless of their sexual orientation, is the way societies should be, and that Japan must appropriately criticize oppression by other governments and work to eliminate discrimination within its borders to create a society where everyone’s dignity is protected.
