      • Sexual Violence against Women in Japanese Society

        Megumu Kimoto BROWNSTEIN 이화여자대학교 아시아여성학센터 2017 이화여자대학교 아시아여성학센터 학술대회자료집 Vol.2017 No.01

        According to the national statistics published by the Gender Equality Bureau Cabinet Office in 2014, approximately one in 15 women in Japan reported being forced to have sex. Nearly 70% of these women responded not reporting the assaults to the police, other individuals or organizations. There is also currently no systematic data collection mechanism which accurately captures the extent of a wide range of sexual crimes committed against women. Japan’s damaging rape culture has long been reinforced and sustained by a persistent, archaic belief in “danson johi” (male domination of women or male chauvinism). This sadly results in the sexual objectification and commercialization of female bodies, and it continues to harm thousands of women each year. In this paper, an overview of various forms of sexual violence taking place in the Japanese societies including some culturally specific ones such as peep chikan (physical molestation on public transportation), and sexual assaults and human rights violation in pornography and entertainment industries, will be provided. In addition, possible causes and efforts put forth by prominent women activists in Japan thus far will be discussed. While much advancement has been made to address sexual violence against women, Japan has a long road ahead in order to bring about drastic changes required to create a society free of violence and gender inequality.

        Evidence-based Advocacy in Action: Improving Access to Public Housing for Single Parents and their Children in Singapore

        Megumu Kimoto Brownstein 이화여자대학교 아시아여성학센터 2017 Asian Journal of Women's Studies(AJWS) Vol.23 No.3

        This case study on the Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE) in Singapore relates a simple and powerful tenet of social justice; all children deserve government and social support regardless of their parents’ marital status. Despite single parenthood becoming increasingly common, some single mothers and their children in Singapore face numerous challenges, such as finding suitable housing. Significant factors regarding this may be attributed to the housing policies and regulations that reward traditional families and underserve other forms of family structures. While more than 80 percent of Singapore’s population enjoy access to public housing, unwed mothers seem to be systematically excluded from this entitlement until they reach the age of 35, in addition to other welfare and tax benefits that are consistently awarded to traditional families. Divorced single mothers also often experience poor housing situations and sometimes homelessness, apparently due to excessively stringent eligibility criteria. To address these issues, AWARE conducted “evidence-based” advocacy using a multi-actor and multi-level approach. The method, commitment, and coordination that AWARE has demonstrated may indeed serve as a blueprint for other organizations seeking to assist deserving single parents and their dependents.
