Subject: Symposium on Gender Equality in the workplace -- June 24


International Symposium
Women, Work, and the Law- Promoting Gender Equality in the Workplace -
Canada, Germany, Japan, and the United States~

Time:  Tuesday, June 24, 2003  13:00~18:00
Place: Canadian Embassy Theater B2  (7-3-38 Akasaka Minato-ku Tokyo)

Gender discrimination in the workplace is not limited to Japan. At this
symposium experts from four industrialized democracies - the US, Japan,
Germany, and Canada - will examine 1) what challenges and opportunities a
fluctuating economy presents to working women, 2) what has been or should
be done to create a more gender-equal work environment, and 3) how laws can
serve as instruments of reform.
