女性の経済的自立推進　「新しい資本主義の中核」―岸田首相

　岸田文雄首相は３日午前、政府が東京都内で開催した「国際女性会議ＷＡＷ！」であいさつし、「女性の経済的自立は『新しい資本主義』の中核だ」と述べ、女性活躍の推進などに引き続き取り組む考えを強調した。女性の視点を政策や制度に反映させる重要性も訴えた。
　首相はロシアによるウクライナ侵攻に触れ、「女性に対する性的暴力等、ロシア兵による数え切れない蛮行も報告されている」と指摘。国際協力機構（ＪＩＣＡ）や国連女性機関「ＵＮウィメン」などを通じ、「日本は世界の女性一人ひとりに目を向け、人権の保護と能力向上に取り組む」と語った。「ジェンダーの取り組みにより多くの男性を関与させるよう主導する」との考えも示した。（2022/12/03-09:33）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Saturday that women's economic independence is a key part of the "new capitalism" initiative led by him, expressing his government's resolve to continue working on the promotion of women's empowerment.
   In an address at the sixth conference of the World Assembly for Women, or WAW!, held in Tokyo by the Japanese government, Kishida also stressed the importance of reflecting women's perspectives in government policies.
   Elsewhere in the address, Kishida touched on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and said that numerous barbarous acts committed by Russian soldiers, including sexual violence against women, have been reported.
   Then, the prime minister said, "Japan will give an eye to every woman in the world and work on protecting women's rights and elevating their abilities" through the Japan International Cooperation Agency and the UN Women.
   Kishida also said he will lead efforts to have more men get involved in gender-related actions.
