Worldwide Wan > Concept of Worldwide Women’s Action Network (W-WAN)
The Worldwide Women’s Action Network (W-WAN) is a sub-group of the Women’s Action Network (WAN) based out of Japan. W-WAN’s mission is to introduce activities and activism by and for women in Japan through a platform of international languages. We also offer translations of articles published on the WAN website, currently in English, Chinese (both in traditional and simplified characters), Korean, and Spanish.
W-WAN project launched in the summer of 2010, under the direction of WAN’s Director Chizuko UENO and Shin YAMAAKI (the first chief of W-WAN). Its purpose was to share the work of WAN with a global arena. An English-language W-WAN blog began in September 2011 as one of the links of the WAN website. In 2015, W-WAN blog was integrated into the WAN’s main website. WAN receives hundreds of thousands of monthly views. With W-WAN, we are very excited to allow an even broader range of viewers through our multi-lingual content.
In English-language articles, native speakers of English may notice that some of our articles are not written in “natural” English. This is because most of us grew up in Japan and are not native speakers of English. But we still decided to write in English in hopes of reaching out to a broader audience worldwide.
W-WAN believes that cultures and languages are all equal. English, however, is the most powerful de facto international language. Understanding there are limitations, we still chose to use English, because we trust that communicating women’s voices in Japan to the world is worthwhile.
In recent years, our earnest wish has come true — the W-WAN page has expanded into non-English language sphere. In 2018, the first Chinese language articles were published. And in 2019, the first Korean and Spanish language articles followed.
In addition to articles translated from Japanese, we also publish original articles. We hope you will enjoy them and look forward to comments from around the world.
March 2021
W-WAN Management Team
[Original message from Shin Yamaaki, the founding chief of W-WAN]The Worldwide Women’s Action Network (W-WAN) has started an English-language blog (http://worldwide-wan.blogspot.com/ ) since September 2011. The launch of this project was summer 2010 when I got an email from the current Chief Director of Women’s Action Network (WAN), Chizuko Ueno. She wrote, “I want to make an English version of WAN. I want to get non-Japanese speakers to know that, in Japan, there is a unique website like WAN.”
I found it meaningful and promising. I was curious, too. I was working on an interesting translation project at that time, through which I recognized a trend to transmit voices in Japan beyond Japanese-speaking world via English. So, in reply to her I said, “Okay, let’s try.”
We called our new-born project as English WAN (E-WAN) at first. Yet, two months later, fall in 2011, we decided to change it into Worldwide-WAN (W-WAN). Why? At the very first meeting for the project, I murmured, “Our objective is to deliver Japanese women’s voices beyond Japanese-speaking world, in other words, give voice to Japanese women who are almost voiceless now in English-speaking world. And simply for this, we would employ English language to make a blog because it is the dominant language in the today’s world. In a way, I’m not very comfortable to call it English WAN.” Agreeing with me in full flood, Ueno started to explore alternative ideas.
By the time the meeting was over, we decided to name it Worldwide WAN instead of English. Using English language, which is for the overdog in large part from global and historical perspectives, we deliver Japanese women’s voices who try to connect via WAN, that is, voices of the underdog who need to be connected.
Although joined by skillful members using English language for work in some way, we never go for native speakers English. Our priority is not given to become or copy the overdog. To create and deliver voices which would be unheard if letting it lie, we now take others’ language and embark on this challenging project – for even further sisterhood between the strong and the weak divided by the past and current world order. We would be pleased if you could understand our concept and goal, hear the voice, and cooperate in sharing it.
Originally written in Japanese in December 2011, and then written in English in December 2013 by Shin Yamaaki, W-WAN founding chief.
4 Women’s Rights Organizations You Can Support in Japan
Contrary to popular belief, feminism in Japan is alive, and there are ways that foreigners can contribute to it. Here are four organizations to get you started.
By Joyce Wan Jan 16, 2017 5 min read
When you live in Japan, starry-eyed visions of cherry blossoms and anime settings gradually give way to the real joys and frustrations of living in a real country. Over time, I heard one problem in particular brought up again and again by friends who otherwise loved Japan: the poor state of women’s rights.
In 2016, Japan dropped even further in the gender equality rankings maintained by the World Economic Forum. It places 111th out of 144 countries, making it the lowest ranked industrialized country, and below neighboring South Korea and China. And the tangible reasons behind this abstract number are pretty easy to grasp: there are few women in positions of power in politics or business; sexual harassment is more often than not swept under the rug; and still-rigid gender roles pressure women to become stay-at-home wives and mothers. Even when it seems as though progress is being made, Japan appears to be dragging its heels.
Full-time female workers in Japan on average still earn about 30 percent less than males, according to government data. The pay gap is the third widest among members of the OECD. (Bloomberg)
What makes Japan’s gender inequality doubly frustrating is that there seems to be nothing foreign residents here can do about it. While in many of our own countries, one might get involved with protests or advocacy, Japan has a different culture with its own complicated system of social relations. For all our good intentions, and while international communication does play an important role, foreigners can’t be the ones to impose western (or another culture’s) feminism on Japanese culture. Change has to come from within.
That’s exactly what makes it so important to support grassroots Japanese organizations fighting for gender equality. Contrary to popular belief, feminism in Japan is alive, and there are ways that foreigners can contribute to it. The resilient organizations listed here are just four of many that anyone can support by donating, volunteering, or becoming a member. All the sites provide at least some information in English.
1. Women’s Action Network
The WAN is a non-profit that aims to support women in a wide-ranging array of activities across Japan. The organization hosts lectures and events, and disseminates up-to-date news about women’s rights issues in Japan and internationally. Led by the influential feminist scholar Chizuko Ueno, the WAN has an academic slant, as they maintain a historical archive of feminist magazines and offer free video recordings of feminist lectures. That being said, the group also posts about films, art exhibitions, and even manga and anime related to women’s rights. It’s a great source to stay informed on all issues related to feminism in Japan.
If you want to get involved, their website posts about events and calls to rallies across the country. You can also become a member, which will net you a newsletter subscription, free attendance to events, plus voting rights in the general assembly.
2. National Women’s Education Center
The brick and mortar NWEC is located in Saitama, where anyone can utilize their well-stocked library specializing in gender equality, women’s rights, and family issues. The group holds training sessions for everyone from high school girls to company managers, to counselors who work with women.
If you can’t make it to the physical location, the NWEC website is also an excellent place to do research, especially for those with little Japanese ability. It features a list in English of local and university-specific organizations related to women’s rights, so you can find the right non-profit to get involved with if you live in Japan. You can also volunteer for the NWEC itself – they host orientation seminars three times a year.
3. Asia-Japan Women’s Resource Centre
Japan-based but very internationally-minded, the AJWRC fights to end violence and discrimination against women around the world. It’s roots lie in a group of Japanese women’s protest against sex tours made to other Asian countries by Japanese men. Nowadays it aims to educate and campaign about feminist issues as they intersect with war, trafficking, neoliberal globalization, and so on.
The AJWRC publishes a biannual English journal called “Voices from Japan”. At the time of writing, the most recent issue contains articles about asylum-seeking refugee women, government policies as they relate to women, and testimonies of “comfort women” survivors from WWII. Other than subscribing to the journal, you can support the organization by becoming a member, making a donation, or volunteering as a proofreader or translator.
4. Working Women’s Network
In a country where women continue to face huge challenges in building a career, the WWN fights to close the gender gap in working conditions. The WWN’s goals are to eliminate gender-based discrimination in hiring and job evaluation, establish equal pay, and combat sexual harassment in the workplace. The WWN has supported various legal cases related to gender discrimination and sexual harassment, including the high-profile case of Rina Bovrisse. Bovrisse’s lawsuit against Prada Japan eventually reached the United Nations, and resulted in a UN statement calling for the Japanese government to introduce new regulations making sexual harassment illegal.
The WWN conducts research on the status of working women, and submits reports to CEDAW, the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, as well as the Japanese government. These reports can be read on their website. Anyone who wishes to support the WWN’s activities can become a member or send a donation.

Shreen Saroor – Women’s Action Network (WAN)
Recognizing that the women’s movement in Sri Lanka needs a new generation of leaders after its deadly civil war, Shreen Saroor is creating a cadre of young women who are bringing new solutions to overcome the socio-cultural inequalities that have long prevented women from exercising full citizenship in the country.
Shreen’s New Idea:
Shreen is creating a new generation of young women leaders from divergent groups who don’t typically work together—such as Muslim, Tamil, and Sinhalese—to ramp up the women’s movement in Sri Lanka. The women’s rights movement barely survived during the 1983-2009 civil war and its aftermath; Shreen saw that the older generation of female leaders fighting against structural discrimination during this time were exhausted, and she feared the nascent movement would dissolve altogether without second-generation leaders to carry the movement forward.
Shreen Saroor Ashoka Fellow since Aug 2017 Sri Lanka Women’s Action Network (WAN), Mannar Women’s Development Federation (MWDF)
The end of the 26-year civil war in 2009 brought some stability and mobility for women, which in turn created opportunities and spaces to work on broader women’s issues on a larger scale. Seeing this opportunity, Shreen started to identify, mentor, and provide platforms to younger women throughout the north and the east of the country. Bringing together a collective of nine women’s groups, she launched the Women’s Action Network (WAN) using her connections from the Mannar Women’s Development Federation, which Shreen founded in her hometown of Mannar in 1998. WAN addresses traditional women’s empowerment challenges (such as domestic violence) and war-related issues (such as abductions and resettlement) and also advocates at the national and international levels for policy reforms.
A unique dimension to WAN’s work is the aggressive focus on interethnic collaboration, cutting across the deep divisions left over from the civil war. The network examines issues through larger universal women’s rights without regard to Tamil, Muslim, or Sinhalese ethnicity. For example, young women from all these groups are together reforming the highly discriminatory Muslim Personal Law, which permits child marriage and the unilateral right for men to dissolve a marriage, seeing it as a fundamental issue for all women, not just a Muslim women’s issue. More recently, Shreen established the Women’s Organization Working for Disability, bringing together women who were injured in the war to fight for justice and reparation. As a result, more than $2.8 million was allocated for their welfare in the 2018 Sri Lanka national budget. The group is now a nationally registered CSO led by physically challenged women who have become active in policy reforms and transitional justice.
Shreen’ s story appears in the 2018 edition of “Leading Social Entrepreneurs” which features a selection of just a few of the Ashoka Fellows recently brought into the largest global network of social entrepreneurs. The LSE presents some of the newest innovations by leading social entrepreneurs whose ideas are changing the way things are done all over the world.
We invite you to support Ashoka by sharing these stories and helping us continue to find and invest in the next generation of systems-changing social entrepreneurs.
Help Make A Change for International Women’s Day 2018
March 8 marks this year’s International Women’s Day (IWD), a global day celebrating women’s achievements in cultural, social, economic, and political advancements. It also stands as a pledge for gender parity and equal opportunity for women. With the World Economic Forum’s 2017 Global Gender Gap Report findings telling us that gender parity is over 200 years away – there has never been a more important time to keep motivated and press for change.
The BCCJ firmly believes that engaging women to join the movement for inclusion and allowing diversity is essential for advancing tomorrow’s working environment. Gender diversity has been at the heart of the BCCJ’s D&I programme, an initiative designed to promote greater understanding of, and develop support mechanisms also aimed at the LGBT community, disabled persons and millenials.
Engaging women to join the movement for inclusion and allowing diversity in the workplace is necessary for the advancement of Japanese and global gender parity in the world. The BCCJ has joined this mission through daily operation and teaming with members who focus on a global future with women in political positions, joining the job market at equal rate of men, and who get paid at the same rate. We are committed to advancing Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) at the BCCJ, and this runs through everything we do.
D&I is embedded in our:
— Governance and operations
— Recruitment of people
— Elections for our Executive Committee (Excom)
— Nominees and judges for the British Business Awards (BBA)
— Supplier diversity
To take part of this change, the BCCJ recommends supporting grassroot campaigns in Japan that call for gender equality and contributing to the voices that want to be heard around the globe.
Women’s Action Network (WAN)
WAN is a non-profit organisation focused on supporting women in Japan through a large variety of different activities offered. They are led by feminist scholar Chizuko Ueno who offers a large variety of historical archives online and free videos of feminist lectures.
On March 8, WAN will be assisting in the International Women’s March to call recognise issues such as disadvantages in race, ethnicity, economic disparity, sexuality, disability, and immigration. Another chance to #PressforProgress by getting to say #MeToo and recognising women’s struggle across Japan.
Asia-Japan Women’s Resource Centre
AJWRC is a group that joined the fight to end sexual violence and harrassment around the globe. Its focus is to spread awareness of sexual crimes, human trafficking, war, globalisation, and allowing the voices of women who have been affected by these tragedies.
AJWRC offers workshops for women to become better equipped with necessary skills to handle any type of situation that challenges them. You can support them also by becoming a member, donating to their causes, or volunteering as a translator.
Mums In Business Tokyo
Mums in Business is a professional group of women who provide support and advice to new mums trying to balance work and home. They meet for networking opportunities to exchange tips, insight, and raising awareness for gender inclusion in Japan.
For Empowering Women (FEW)
FEW is a Tokyo based non profit business organisation with a mission for all international women to realise their full professional and person potential. They host regular monthly meetings for networking and connecting to other women. They manage special interest groups and career development-focused seminars and promote volunteering, as well as engaging strategic partnerships.
***HOW YOU CAN TAKE ACTION***
1) Run your own, or join a #PressforProgress IWD campaign
One of the most powerful ways you can influence how quickly gender equality is achieved is through championing a #PressforProgress campaign within your own organisation.
2) Host a #PressforProgress IWD event
Invite your speaker/s to articulate and explain that exact moment when they themselves took bold action to help improve or develop an aspect of their own livelihood, career or business – or that of another woman’s, or women’s status overall.
3) Social share your support
Use the hashtag #PressforProgess in your calls for action/gender parity on your communication channels.
4) Secure executive statements of support
Submit an approved and authorised #PressforProgress statement of support from your leaders (celebrities, corporate chairpersons and CEOs, government officials, charity heads, business and community leaders) – for possible promotion and amplification via the IWD website and social media channel.
Will you #PressforProgress?
– Make a difference, think globally and act locally!
– Make everyday International Women’s Day.
– Press to progress and ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.

Care Work and the Economy
The Japanese Government responded to the COVID 19 crisis by declaring a state of emergency and announcing an economic stimulus of 108 trillion yen, 6 trillion of which is allocated to households and small to midsized businesses. However, care work is not mentioned in this state of emergency. In the face of this pandemic, the government should be taking into account the increased burden of home care that is brought on in addition to the concerns regarding the collapse of medical care.
Although medical care is very important, home goes beyond medical care in terms of responsibilities. Take, for instance, an elderly person that has home aid providing essential forms of care – preparing meals, etc. These care workers are taking on huge risks and burdens, and the fact that neither policymakers nor the press are paying attention to this is problematic.
Additionally, as hospitals are overrun with the sickest patients, many those that have contracted COVID-19 are forced to stay home, leaving relatives, especially women, to care for them without the proper PPE or the vigorous sanitation needed. This will result in further spread of the virus, and each household will take on a similar pattern to what has been seen on cruise ships. Furthermore, in Japan, many people live in small homes, making it impossible to create “quarantined zones” within the home. There is also the consideration that many of those in isolation do not have a member of the household to do the shopping. Those individuals are left without access to basic provisions and this is especially the case amongst those that live alone.
Although Prime Minister Abe has thanked the medical staff and truck drivers, he has failed to mention the family care members and the important role they play, which might indicate that family care is seen as a mere obligation, as plentiful as water or air.
The government in South Korea has taken on a much different approach, taking note of these needs, it responded by providing provisions to those that are isolated at home and are unable to go shopping. These provisions show that publicly fulfilling care needs may help in preventing the spread of the disease.
Japan technically has similar measure in place under the Japanese Infectious Disease Control Law, which requires that the government must provide necessities in order to enable individuals to stay home to prevent the spread of infection. However, in actuality, this has not been the case. In Osaka, a modern welfare policy exists to provide coupons for residents for food delivery from local restaurants, helping both those in isolation and local small businesses. This is an example that could be replicated on a national scale with the cooperation of the government and private sector.
I created a survey with colleague Mr. Nanami Suziki to investigate the ease in which people can self-isolate. The survey was distributed through the internet in April 8th and as of April 12th , 330 responses were recorded. These results indicate that domestic work within the home is on the rise, with increasing burdens for those responsible for these tasks within the home. Furthermore, the increased domestic workload is putting strain on those who are remotely working from home.
Survey results show that although in many cases both men and women work remotely, women more often end up taking on all additional home responsibilities imposed by the pandemic, including homeschooling for the children.
As a result, many women are taking leave from their jobs, are working longer hours, and are becoming sleep deprived. Additionally, the increased family stress can lead to domestic violence. Policymakers and the press need to be more attentive to these increased burdens.
Steps can be taken to alleviate this situation, beginning with making care work visible and providing compensation. Further, ensuring employment and income those providing care for individuals in quarantine. This would follow the example set by South Korea in which those that cannot be paid to take leave can apply for living expenses to be supported through the government. As it stands now, Japanese relief policies fail to recognize the increased care burden being faced in the home, primarily by women.
Further, the government should respond by distributing lunch boxes to children that are not able to attend school due to closures, helping those children living in poor households that rely on school lunch. It is also important to support to the continuation of programs that are providing this sort of social care.
There have been some positive results from this situation, such as more family time and communication. Economy is only one aspect of life and moving forward, care work should be made visible in order to create a shift in society that mainstreams the value of “life” over “economy.”
