Intense passion for swimming

Finding a lanky boy in a dark red T-shirt wandering around as though he had just returned from his regular daily swimming practice was obviously a total surprise. This  was not the case at all. He can't explain why he decided on routine swimming, despite his considerable height. He didn't appear to realise that the chlorine in the water would turn his face dark. He and two other older boys were swimming without realising this important fact. This will continue for a minimum period of one full month, as was revealed. Every day, these three lads go to a nearby pool to practice swimming. But the younger one did not go for the usual practice  on the particular day since he had developed a slight cough, which was definitely learned following his smart disclosure in the night.  He seemed to be unaware of the fact that chlorine in the water would darken his fair face.

Japan's Lady lawmakers demand restrooms


It is absolutely not wrong to demand more toilet facilities for women in the Japanese Parliament. They are indeed criticising the perceptive paucity.   

The petition, which is supported by up to 58 women from seven parties and independent organisations, has issued a widespread, strict warning. 

Significantly, the lack of restrooms is a critical issue that could affect the conduct of proceedings and the proper performance of duties. It emerges as a very reasonable demand for women.

If the situation develops so slowly in comparison to Japan's advancement in this regard, the basic requirement requires utmost attention.

Japan’s women lawmakers have launched a rare cross-party initiative to expand women’s toilet facilities in the parliament, claiming that increasing representation has exposed how the male-dominated institution has failed to adjust.

All the women legislators, including Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, have submitted a petition calling for more women’s restrooms in the National Diet building in Tokyo.

At present, just one restroom with two cubicles is located near the main plenary hall for the 73 women serving in the House of Representatives. 

It has been reportedly said that a large number of female lawmakers line up in front of the women’s restroom before the main assembly session,” said Yasuko Komiyama, a member of the CDP, an opposition Constitutional Democratic Party. 

The petition, backed by 58 women from seven parties and independent groups, has warned that the shortage is a critical issue that could potentially impact the conduct of proceedings and the performance of duties. 

Despite this, women continue to hold less than 16% of the seats in the House of Representatives, the more powerful lower house of the National Diet. 

The number of women in the lower house has increased from 45 to more than 70.

Even so, women still hold under 16 per cent of the seats in the chamber, formally understood as the House of Representatives, the more powerful lower house of the National Diet, Japan’s parliament.
