In celebration of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Elimination of Racial Discrimination NGO Network (ERD-Net) will hold the event titled “Stop Racism, Stop Hate Speech”, to demand the Japanese government to adopt a basic law against racial discrimination which has been in negotiation at the Parliament.

The event will take place at 3 pm to 4:30 pm on 17th March at a Hall of Members’ office building of House of Councilors of Japan. For further information, visit our event page in Japanese. 

IMADR created a 3 minute video “Is there racial discrimination in Japan?” to capture the situation of racial discrimination in Japan against Zainichi Koreans, Buraku people, indigenous Ainu, people of Okinawa and migrants. Click the image below to watch the video.
