I know that many readers of this page have seen this photo many times but the article is new. One thing that was new to me was information about how an assembly in Okinawa permitted a member to do what Ms. Ogata was not allowed to do:
“Like Ogata, Ayumi Miyazato is a city council member in southern Japan – and a new mother. Unlike Ogata, however, she was able to take her 3-month-old baby to the assembly this fall, which provided space for childcare during meetings.”
