The Girl Scouts of Japan has released the "Female College Student x Gender Survey Report 47" conducted by a female youth team of the same age group for females (18 to 25 years old) in 2020 prefectures nationwide.
This report is a compilation of surveys conducted by a female youth team of the same age who wondered, "What is the current state of gender for female college students?"A total of 216 respondents, including 37 Girl Scout members, 283 former members, and 536 general members, responded. "Women are limited in their life choices" "Many women have been sexually harassed or discriminated against" "Women are greatly influenced by the media" 3 After making two hypotheses, we conducted a survey and analyzed the responses.
According to the report, 92% of female college students answered that they "experience or see sexual harassment and discrimination in their daily lives." The result was much higher than 2019% of female high school students in the "High School Girls Survey" released in 66.In addition, the places where sexual harassment is received or seen are "Internet" 86%, "Media" 83%, "Public place" 64%, School "51%", "Part-time job" and "Job hunting" respectively. 39%, workplace "38%", "home" 26%.
Regarding this result, the report stated, "The media and the Internet reflect the ideas of the sender, not only making the recipient uncomfortable, but also having a great influence on the consciousness. For example, the old view of gender conveyed by the media. However, it promotes discrimination and harassment. "
In job hunting, he said, "It is one of the places where female college students are explicitly required to be feminine," based on opinions such as "there is face recruitment" and "I think that makeup is essential for job hunting is gender discrimination." bottom.In addition, companies have long-standing gender discrimination, such as "I was told that women cannot advance", "I was asked if I had a plan to get married", and "I was recommended to a general job because it is difficult for women to work in sales". Many answers were given to show that they remained on the side.
In addition, 54% answered "I think" to the question "Do you think the media is creating the ideal female image?"Not only the appearance such as beauty, but also the role of being able to do household chores with good cooking and raising children, so female university students are "homely" while being a society where women are encouraged to work. He points out that the surface is also sandwiched between the two required images.
