In Japan, 6,976 women took their lives last year, nearly 15% more than in 2019. It was the first year-over-year increase in more than a decade. More than two-thirds of the women were unemployed. https://t.co/DesQKBVoz1 https://t.co/GckTs1sgIZ
In Tokyo, about 22% of women live alone; working mothers have struggled with deep disparities in housework in the work-from-home era; and some women have experienced a rise in domestic violence and sexual assault. https://t.co/DesQKBVoz1 https://t.co/UcMwoQcsIn
@nytimes This is a disturbing number. May they rest in peace.
@nytimes Very sad. It’s a problem the Japanese government could solve by giving the unemployed who want to work jobs to carry out.
