Jan. 20, 2024 Updated
It has become even more important to connect, speak up, and make each person's wishes come true.
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the first "Saitama Festival for Persons with Disabilities" in 1980. We are now aiming to materialize the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Japan.
Looking back on the four years of the Corona disaster, businesses related to persons with disabilities were also hit hard and continue to be hit hard. An even bigger blow is Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and the spread of refugees and poverty. In Japan, too, the effects of the serious price hikes are continuing to hit people's lives. There is a society where all kinds of discrimination and division prevail, making it difficult to live. Japan is ranked 114th in the world in the gender gap index, a disgraceful announcement.
In order to eliminate the difficulties of living and to achieve a bright future, we must join hands and say NO to all forms of discrimination and division. Please join us at the Festival for a Peaceful and Coexisting Society.
