To the next Prime Minister,
I am the cofounder of Children First (childrenfirst.jp), an NPO that focuses on children's issues. Every three minutes another child loses all contact with one of their parents after divorce. Every seven minutes another child is a victim of school bullying. Every 12 minutes another case of child abuse is reported to protective services. Every week at least one child dies as the result of abuse.
Children First is working to overcome these issues and other problems affecting children. But we can't do it alone. We need the help of Diet members and policymakers to change things so Japan is a better place for children.
