Today, October 11, is the International Day of the Girl Child. I saw something on the web reminding me of that fact a few minutes ago and thought I’d check to see if anything had been planned for Kumamoto. I searched in both English and Japanese but came up mostly empty-handed in both languages. This post is from five years ago.
As I see it, there are many places in the world where girls face far more severe challenges than they do here in Japan. Still, it seems like a nice occasion to send positive, encouraging messages to the girls of Kumamoto. Perhaps next year some event will be planned. :)
