Based on the promulgation and enforcement date of the Basic Law on Gender Equality Society, June 23, 1999, the National Gender Equality Promotion Headquarters will set one week from June 23 to 29 every year. Through various initiatives, we aim to deepen our understanding of the purpose and basic philosophy of the Basic Law on Gender Equality Society through various initiatives.

The Cabinet Office has recruited "catchphrase for realizing a society where both men and women can maximize their individuality and abilities", and in 2024, decided to be "a society where everyone can choose any."

One of the reasons why the progress of gender equality efforts has not yet been made is the presence of fixed role-sharing consciousness by gender and unconscious assumptions (Ann Conscious Bias).

According to a survey by the Cabinet Office, about 30% of men have been determined that men should work and support their households, and about 40% of women say, "housework and childcare are women. Should do "

In order to create a society where diverse choices can be realized regardless of gender, it is important to eliminate such gender-based fixed roles and unconscious assumptions.
