One year after its establishment, Women's Wellness Action from Shibuya members and participants decided and announced this year's "My Wellness Action"!
On "International Women's Day" on March 8, women face their daily lives in collaboration with meetalk Co., Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Naoko Yamanaka, hereinafter "meeTalk"), which operates a community of female entrepreneurs and leaders. A discussion event was held to raise awareness of women's unique health issues and encourage action to resolve them.
We dealt with women's unique health problems that occur at each life stage, including puberty, pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, and old age. It was the first general participation type discussion event, but regardless of occupation, age, or gender, the participants interacted with experts and leaders who are taking action to improve wellness, ideas were born and many action declarations were made. gathered, and it became a meaningful meeting with a high amount of heat.
Also, at the exchange meeting, I was able to have new awareness and connections. In the future, we will create opportunities to back up the progress of actions, feedback for development, and further progress.
Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in collaboration or activity support.

We will create a place in Shibuya where young people in their teens and twenties can feel safe and consult when they have mental and physical troubles. It is parallel to the shops where young people gather, and you can stop by when you come to Shibuya to play or shop. Midwives, nurses, obstetricians and gynecologists, infectious disease specialists, etc. are on standby in shifts toprovide consultations on human relationships, physical issues, and various other concerns. Ideally, you will also receive samples of femcare products, emergency contraceptive pills, pregnancy checkers, and infectious disease tests.
