ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

KuToo movement

Kutoo is a movement in Japan where women are protesting against high heel dress codes in the workplace. Imagine going to school and the teacher telling you that you have to wear shoes that make your feet hurt all day long. That's what is happening when women have to wear high heels to work.

Wearing high heels can be really uncomfortable and even cause long-term health problems. Women should be able to wear comfortable shoes to work so they can focus on doing their job.

The Kutoo movement is a way for women to come together and speak up for themselves. They want to be able to wear whatever shoes they feel comfortable in to work. Sometimes, grown-ups have to speak up for themselves when they feel like they're not being treated fairly. And that's what the women in the Kutoo movement are doing.
