Japan elects its youngest woman mayor ever:
Japan's youngest-ever female mayor, Naomi Koshi, has vowed to improve the lives of women in the country after winning the election in the city of Otsu, Shiga Prefecture. The 36-year-old former lawyer and Harvard graduate has revealed that a big inspiration for abandoning her successful legal career to move into politics was a determination to change things for women in Japan, the Mainichi Daily reported. As a child, the mayor-elect watched on as her own mother abandoned a long-term career at a design firm to look after her elderly mother, Ms Koshi has said that she is determined to give Japanese women more opportunities. The role of women in Japanese society is often limited, she says, and this needs to change. "Work or kids? Or sometimes caring for an ill family member? I want to change the lives of women currently forced to choose from among these options," the news provider reported her as saying.
The Video is saying saying that the lady is 36, a lawyer, and a member of the DPJ.
And she wants to help women have it all…….
