In a country that ranks internationally for gender equality, new president JapanLonger Liberal democratAnd the potential next Prime Minister, a male-dominated party has an over-rugist star that critics calls a barrier to the progress of women.
Sana Takchi, 64. Praise appreciation British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher And the former Prime Minister is the proponent Shinzo AbeConservative vision for Japan.
Takaichi is the first female President of Japan’s main male ruling party to dominate Japan’s subsequent politics without almost obstruction.
He was first elected to Parliament from his hometown slogan in 1993, worked in major party and government positions, including Minister of Economic Security, Internal Affairs and Gender Equality.
Conservative Liberal Democratic Party was given limited ministerial positions to women MPs, often removing them as soon as they talk about diversity and gender equality. The Takachi male party is stuck in favor of Heavyweight with old -fashioned ideas.
Women include only 15% of the lower house of Japan, which is more powerful in two parliamentary chambers. Japan has only two women out of 47 prefactive governors.
A motorbike rider as a drummer and a student in a heavy-metal band, Takachi has called a strong military, more fiscal expenses for development, promoting nuclear fusion, for difficult policies on cyber security and immigration.
He vowed to increase women ministers in his government. But experts say that she can actually refund women’s progress because as a leader she has to show loyalty to influential male heavyweight. If she does not take the risk of short -term leadership.
Takaichi has supported the LDP policy of serving women in traditional roles of good mothers and wives. But she recently accepted her struggles with symptoms of menopause and emphasized the need to educate men about women health to help women in school and work.
The Takaichi Imperial family supports the male-cavalry succession, opposing an amendment to the same-sex marriage and the 19th-century civil law that will allow separate surnames for married couples to allow women not to pressurize them.
He is a war -time history revisionist and China Hawk. She regularly visits Yasukuni Shrine, which considers the symbol of Japanese’s neighboring militants, although she has refused to say what she would do as Prime Minister.

His Hawkish stance is also a concern with a Buddhist-supported middle party for LDP’s longtime partnership. While it has said that the current coalition is important for his party, she says it is open to work with distant groups.
