Grassroots network seeks end to multiple discrimination
faced by disabled women
After moving with her family from Aichi Prefecture to the Kanto region, Sadako Sasaki
‒‒ who is completely blind ‒‒ began to face gossip when neighbors learned of her
disability.
"People started to say things like, 'How sad for her kids. I wonder who cooks for
them?'" she recounted. "It made me feel like I was being discriminated against on two
separate levels. First, people were assuming that blind people couldn't cook. And
secondly, they assumed that since I'm a woman, it was me who was supposed to be
doing the cooking in the first place."
Sasaki, who belongs to a disabled women's advocacy group called DPI Women's
Network Japan ‒‒ an offshoot of the Disabled Peoples' International organization ‒‒
says that she and other women with disabilities face this type of treatment on a
routine basis, and that there is a name for it: multiple discrimination.
Sasaki shared her experiences during a Disabled Studies course for undergraduate
students on Nov. 29, 2013 at Rikkyo University's Niiza campus in Saitama Prefecture,
where she and another member introduced the network's initiatives and provided
insight into the concept of multiple discrimination ‒‒ a term that only one of the 60‒
odd students said they had encountered before attending the lecture.
Noriko Seyama, a non‒disabled member of the organization who joined Sasaki in
addressing the students, explained that while existing gender inequalities impact all
women, overcoming such barriers in order to achieve economic independence or
improved social status is a greater struggle for women with disabilities, due to
additional complications with finding work, accessing information, and forging
interpersonal connections.
Similarly, she pointed out that although ill treatment is commonly faced by all persons
with disabilities (PWD), irrespective of gender, such hardships are often further
exacerbated for women because of existing workplace inequalities, gender‒related bias

recent legislative gains ‒‒ including the 2011 revision of a basic PWD law, the June
2013 passage of a new law to eliminate discrimination against PWD, and government
ratification in December 2013 of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities ‒‒ the country's laws and policies presently lack the teeth to sufficiently
address the multiple discrimination that women with disabilities continue to face.
She pointed out, for example, that inadequate understanding regarding the
circumstances of women with disabilities can cause additional complications when they
attempt to access social services for issues such as domestic violence (DV).
"Women with certain disabilities such as speech impairments are sometimes dismissed
as prank callers by DV hotline operators, and those in wheelchairs are generally
unable to access shelters or other DV assistance facilities unless the buildings are

"Our research showed that DV support centers and shelters in only four prefectures
throughout the entire country had worked with disabled clients ‒‒ and even then, the
numbers were extremely low," she added. "Rather than conclude that no disabled
women were seeking assistance for DV, it seems clear to us that such individuals are
in fact running into trouble when trying to access assistance."
The DPI Women's Network Japan was founded in 1986 to unite smaller groups
nationwide working for disabled women's rights ‒‒ and went on to spearhead several
legislative lobbying campaigns and other advocacy‒related initiatives. Its efforts
contributed to the 1996 repeal of provisions within the now defunct Eugenic Protection
Law, for example, which had been responsible for forced sterilization of disabled
individuals. Additionally, the specific acknowledgement of disabled women's particular
needs within revisions to Japan's domestic violence protection law represents a
positive first step that may be credited in part to the network's efforts.
Although members also lobbied for the 2011 basic PWD law
revision to include additional concrete provisions regarding
women with disabilities, however, the final version fell short
of their hopes ‒‒ referencing the word "gender," but
including few specifics. Consequently, Sasaki explained that

the network decided to spearhead a questionnaire for
women with disabilities, wherein their personal experiences
would be collected to clarify existing needs.
The initiative yielded responses from 87 individuals, and
detailed stories regarding workplace and other societal

discriminations. Some 35 percent of respondents also
reported experiencing some form of sexual abuse from
people including relatives or caretakers, such as
inappropriate touching and even rape ‒‒ a higher figure
than the network had expected, Sasaki said.
Network members ‒‒ who also include non‒disabled women
allies and male supporters ‒‒ are hopeful that the recent PWD‒related legal

developments will help the organization continue to advance its goals.

discrimination and disabled women's rights, while also keeping our eye on local
movements in this regard," commented network member Kumiko Usui, who has been
partially deaf since birth.
Usui noted that Japan has a long history of excluding PWDs ‒‒ particularly women ‒‒
within the process of crafting the legislation that affects them. "We want women with
disabilities to be included within the planning process for both national and local laws,"
she said.
She also pointed out that Kyoto Prefecture is poised to include disabled women within
its PWD anti‒discrimination ordinance this year, which, if passed, would be the first in
the nation to specifically reference women in this regard.
