Women in law in Japan

Hey there little buddy! Today we're going to talk about women in law in Japan!

So in Japan, there are rules and laws that say everyone should be treated fairly, but sometimes people don't always follow those rules. In the past, women in Japan had a harder time becoming lawyers or judges, which are people who help make important decisions about what is right and wrong.

But things are changing! More and more women are becoming lawyers, and there are now even some female judges! However, there are still some things that make it harder for women to become successful in law. For example, some people think women should stay at home and take care of the house instead of having big jobs like lawyers or judges.

But we know that's not true! Women can do anything they want, and a lot of women in Japan are proving that by becoming amazing lawyers and judges. They work hard, study a lot, and sometimes have to face some tough challenges, but they are still doing it and doing it well!

So the next time you hear someone say that girls can't be lawyers or judges, remember that they are wrong! Girls can do anything they put their minds to, and there are lots of amazing women in Japan who are proving that every day by practicing law and making the world a better place!
