We Shall Not Turn In Our Bodies As Offerings to the State

8・15 Women In Black Action

Date/Time: Friday, August 15, 2003 from Noon -13:00

Venue: In front of Yurakucho Marion Clock Tower


 August 15 is a day Japan has once pledged never to repeat the mistakes of exercizing armed conducts and occupation.August 15 has come, this year, in a whirlwind of successive legislations that betray this pledge. Sending troops to Iraq, that is to a country invaded on falsely provided grounds, is to participate in the US-led war and occupation. It is also to coerce the Japanese Self Defence Force personnel into a kind of relationship with the Iraqi people that is to kill and to be killed.

We are also faced with incidents of blatent acts that are intended to deny gender equality and to justify control over women's bodies. The Diet has recently passed a legislation aimed at promoting increase in reproduction without recognizing individual rights to choose whether or how to give birth.
Many diet members and scholars are not ashamed to make public statements
such as "childless women should be denied welfare payments in old age,"
"women who are subjected to sexual violence are responsible for it" and
"gender-based freedom is a dangerous ideology."

The pre-war state of Japan exercized control over women's bodies to carry out its invasion and occupation policies. The infamous policy of "breed and procreate" imposed upon Japanese women the role of a "soldier's mother." Women participated in this policy actively or in silence. Meanwhile, women of countries invated by Japan were subjected to sexual violence.

We shall never again allow Japan to exercize state control over our bodies or over bodies of people in other countries. We shall not let Japan ignore or forget its crimes from the past war. We shall not close our eyes, as Japan participates in the US-led war or invasion. We refuse to stay silent.

WOMEN IN BLACK was first organized in 1988 in Israel to protest against the occupation in Palestine. Women In Black has developed into an international network of women resising war, militarism and violence against women, charactarized by silent street protests in black garment that symbolizes morning.

Women In Black began in Japan after September 11, 2001. Women of diverse generation and career gathered in Tokyo to protest in view of morning for victims of terrorist attack, US-led attacks in Afghanistan and cases of violence around the world. Women In Black has since then held regular standings on various themes.

Women In Black Tokyo understands that silence imposed by fear and the exercize of control by force are not limited to undertakings of certain armed groups but are deeply embedded in society and history that we live in.

We protest against states and orders in the world that create violence. We wear black to show mourning for the victims of violence, and stand on streets in silence protest.

This action consists of active participation by individuals who support the above stated mission. Anyone is welcome to join the standing at any time during the action. Please stand with us in silence.
