A historic event took place in Japan. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Sana Takaichi was elected as the country's first female prime minister. She officially assumed her position in Tokyo.
This event became a great source of inspiration for many Japanese women, as men have led the country's politics for many years. Takaichi is compared to the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and is called "Japan's Iron Lady."
She proposes tax benefits for families with children and encourages the opening of daycare centers at workplaces. At the same time, she supports maintaining women's traditional family roles.
According to the World Economic Forum report, Japan ranks 118th out of 148 countries in terms of gender equality. Only 15.7 percent of parliament members are women.
Despite women in the country being educated and qualified, their participation in politics and business remains low. Sana Takaichi faces significant challenges ahead.
She must address issues such as economic crisis, inflation, and restoring voters' trust. Women's rights are not expected to be a central theme in her policy, but she will remain in history as Japan's first female prime minister.
This event is regarded as the beginning of a new era in the country's politics.
