2024년 새해 축하 인사

2024.01.10 Wed

여러분, 새해 복 많이 받으세요. 올해 용의 해 새해가 밝았지만, 별로 달가운 마음이 들지 않습니다. 러시아의 우크라이나 침공 2년째에 더해 이스라엘의 가자 침공으로 정말로 가슴 아픈 사태가 계속되고 있습니다. 국제사회의 무력함을 뼈저리게 깨닫는 가운데, 우리가 대처할 방도를 찾지 못하는 사이에 무력감은 실로 커져가고 있습니다. 이러한 때에 WAN의 멤버가 평화의 메세지를 일본어, 영어, 독일어, 히브리어, 아랍어로 내어서, WAN은 세계의 사람들과 함께 평화를 호소할 수 있었습니다. 작년에 저는 75살 이상 후기고령자가 되었습니다. 작년 WAN의 총회가 열릴 때 저는 입원을 했었는데, 이사장 없이도 총회를 열 수 있다는 점을 실증한 점이 큰 성과입니다.(웃음) WAN도 이제 창립 후 15년째, 열 다섯 살이 되었습니다. 앞으로 WAN에서도 세대 교체가 필요하다고 절감하는 시기입니다.

2024 New Year's Greetings from Director Chizuko Ueno

2024.01.01 Mon

Happy New Year! This year is the year of the dragon, and this year is the last year for this calendar of lessons learned. I am not in a happy mood just because it is New Year. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been going on for two years now, and in addition, Israel's invasion of Gaza has been really tragic. We have been reminded of the powerlessness of the international community. We are also devastated by the helplessness of ourselves. In t

2023.12.17 Sun

I made an appointment with a surgeon at the clinic where I had my cytology to ask about treatment and surgery for breast cancer.My husband went with me to the clinic that day. We both must have looked very serious while waiting for the doctor in the waiting room. Then Dr. Valencia, a surgeon, wearing a face shield that covered his entire face like an astronaut, showed up about 30 minutes late. (*In Manila at that time, face mask plus face shield

Things I've learned from breast cancer journey in Philippines #2 “Illness is a Message.”

2023.11.26 Sun

After my mind went blank for a while from the shock of seeing the diagnosis of breast cancer, the first thing I did, trembling, was to open an airline booking website and look up tickets to Japan. “I have to go back to Japan right away to have the surgery!” I had no desire to have the surgery in Manila. Because the Japanese I know living in Manila return home when surgery is needed. Those who give birth also usually return home a few months bef

わたしたちWorldwide WANチームの有志は、2022年3月3日にW-WAN平和連帯宣言を出しました。 Worldwide WAN平和連帯宣言この平和連帯宣言は、ロシア・ウクライナ戦争に限らず、世界中のすべての争いや暴力に反対するものでした。そこには今回のイスラエルとパレスチナでの争いも含まれます。この争いは、昨日今日始まったのではなく、これまでも長い間ずっと続いてきたものです。さらに、戦争や紛争だけでなく、わたしたちの身の回りには暴力がはびこっており、そこでは常に弱い立場にいる人々が犠牲になっています。いかなる歴史もいかなる過去も、今を生きる人々や生き物、そして未来を生きる子どもたちの命を奪う理由にはなりません。わたしたちは歴史から、過去の過ちを繰り返さないための教訓を導き出し、より良い社会・世界づくりのために活用すべきです。戦争や紛争は一部の利権を独占したい人間によって引き起こされ、その利権とはまったく関係のない人々や生き物が犠牲になります。わたしたち

Things I've learned from breast cancer journey in Philippines #1"Health nut diagnosed with breast cancer"

2023.11.05 Sun

I thought I would never get cancer. I was almost certain. I had been a hardcore health nut for about 10 years.The only time I've been to the hospital in the last 10 years is for a routine physical. I never caught a cold. I was very confident about my health. I was so stoic in my pursuit of health that people around me were astonished by my public declaration, "My hobby is detoxification". I quit my corporate life in Japan, followed my husband t

裁判所におけるXianziの個人的陳述【動画・写真追加】

2023.05.25 Thu

武漢出身で18歳の時に北京に移住した周暁璇さんは、中国の脚本家でフェミニスト活動家です。彼女の名前はペンネームの弦子の方がよく知られています。弦子さんは2018年にエッセイを書き、その中で、ジャーナリスト・インターンだった2014年に国営中国中央テレビ（CCTV）の著名アナウンサーである朱軍氏から性的嫌がらせを受けた経験を明かしました。彼女はその時21歳で、恐怖から凍りついてしまったといいます。事件の翌日、彼女はそれを警察に届け出ましたが、警察から訴えを取り下げるように強く迫られ、結局諦めてしまいました。しかし2018年、中国での#Me Too運動の盛り上がりとともに、彼女のエッセイが世間の注目を集めるようになり、弦子さんはあらためて謝罪と損害賠償を求めて朱氏を訴えました。2022年8月、北京の裁判所は「証拠不十分」だとして彼女の訴えを退けました。判決に失望したものの、弦子さんは支持者たちに感謝し、彼女の事件が今後も、正義を求める闘いにおいて人々の関心を呼び起こし続けること

受共同社的委托，我写了一篇致新员工的演讲稿。经授权将此文转载。＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊恭喜你们找到工作。你们通过了应届毕业生统一录取的选拔，聚在了这里。你们在越来越激烈的应届毕业生录用市场的求职中获胜，不管是第一志愿还是第二、第三志愿，顺利地拿到了内定，并迎来今天这个特殊的日子，你们应该松了一口气吧。今年的内定率为94%，你们的朋友中可能也有求职失败的人。另外，这拿到内定的94%的人可能也包括在派遣公司登记的。其中，唯独你们成为了正式员工，应该说你们都是幸运儿吧。对企业来说，人才就是财富。企业在招聘上花费了庞大的成本。企业录用你们不仅仅是瞄准了你们的“高性能”，而且他们打算在今后的实习过程中，把你们逐渐培养成对企业有用的人才。如果你们无法回报企业对你们进行的人才投资，企业就会赔本。你们在公司上班与在学校上学时完全不同。对大学来说，学生是交学费的顾客。而对于企业来说，你们则是拿着工资为其工作的人。在大学里，翘课和迟到也许没有关系，但是在公司里
