Ms. Michelle Bachelet, Executive Director of UN Women, has contributed to Asian Breeze No. 64. UN Women was established in July 2010 by the UN General Assembly. In her article, Ms. Bachelet explained her organization’s efforts to solve the problem of violence against women and girls, one of the organization’s priorities.
In addition, Asian Breeze No. 64 provides a special article on “Facing Natural Disasters – What We Should Learn from the Great East Japan Earthquake,” the theme of the 22nd Kitakyushu Conference on Asian Women held in November 2011. The event featured the Great East Japan Earthquake and dealt with topics such as the necessity of a gender-equal perspective for disaster damage prevention measures and in the progress of reconstruction and restoration efforts, as well as what we can and should do now.
Asian Breeze No. 64 also carries reports on “Youth Culture Today” by foreign correspondents in Malaysia and Hong Kong, as well as an article on the conclusion of the Agreement on Exchange and Cooperation with Incheon Development Institute, Korea.

4. Theme
“Child Rearing Environments in the World: Children, Parents and Society”
Currently, Japan is taking a variety of measures to provide child-rearing assistance amid a declining birthrate. The City of Kitakyushu is also striving to “create a community that is the top supporter of child rearing in Japan.”
The term “child rearing” does not refer simply to a task performed only by mothers or women. Nor is it only a family issue. Moreover, each family with children has its own set of circumstances and composition.
However, the healthy growth of children is wanted by all. Given this, what kind of systems, society, and environments would be more advantageous to child rearing?
On the Panel Discussion at the first day of the conference, we will look at “Child Rearing Environments in the World” and compare child-rearing circumstances in Japan and various countries, such as the United States, Korea, and Denmark, in an effort to search for what we can do to help to raise our children in future generations.
On the second day, KFAW researchers will report their research outcomes.
＊Simultaneous interpretation (Japanese-English) is available.
