The Jewish Women of Japan (“JWJ”) is a newly formed affiliate, founded in 2024 and based in Tokyo. The organization’s aim is to promote the objectives of the International Council of Jewish Women (ICJW) at the local level in Japan, including by promoting friendly relations and understanding among Jewish women (many of whom do not come from Japan, but rather from all over the world), condemning and combating all forms of anti-Semitism, and working for the improvement of the social, economic and legal status of all women.
The JWJ currently hosts events on a quarterly basis to strengthen its membership and connection to the community. In the coming years, the JWJ hopes to widen its reach and become an enduring and sustainable organization that can have a lasting impact on Japanese society.
