OUR MISSION

Our mission is to nurture a community that empowers and fosters young womxn’s self-actualization and engages in social advocacy for gender equality.

WHY WE INT.?

An enormous gap between Japanese and foreign students as well as men and women, which bars diverse women from pursuing their ambitions.

Lack of a safe space where women can engage with socio-political issues with gendered implications.

Absence of active efforts in tackling specific challenges that women face throughout their academic lives and future careers.

Lack of an inclusive and empowering women’s organization or network in Japan

LOGO CONCEPT

Our logo was designed by aspiring artist Chihiro Matsuda.

She was inspired by the women in Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix. Liberty is represented through the woman holding the French flag. She created the design in the hopes that more women in Japan will become empowered and lead the society today - just like the woman pictured in the painting.
