The 75th Japan-America Student Conference - Tokyo site Pride Program
We proudly hosted the 75th Japan-America Student Conference’s Pride Program in our Tokyo office’s Sunrise Hall on August 19, 2023. Approximately 60 students studying in Japan and the US were in attendance. The Japan-America Student Conference is a historic international exchange program in which students from both Japan and the US live and partake in various activities together for one month. Our pro bono team comprised of professionals and staff supported the program.
After presentations by experts on LGBTQ+ issues, as well as current legal and social issues in Japan, the students discussed the topics that had been raised. Nishimura & Asahi professionals and staff also participated. Participants discussed the differences of the two countries from legal, cultural, and educational perspectives, among others. There were enthusiastic discussions on different perspectives and solutions to various problems.
