Sanae Takaichi is poised to break Japan’s political glass ceiling. Her rise marks a significant moment in a country where women have historically faced numerous barriers to political advancement.
However, some worry that despite her achievements, Takaichi may maintain policies that have traditionally held women back. Critics express concern that her approach could slow progress on gender equality, even as she makes history.
As Japan watches this unfold, the balance between breakthrough and tradition remains a critical question for the future of women in Japanese politics.
