KuToo no more! Japanese women take stand against high heels
TOKYO - A social media campaign against dress codes and expectations that women wear high heels at work has gone viral in Japan, with thousands joining the #KuToo movement.
Nearly 20,000 women have signed an online petition demanding the government ban companies from requiring female employees to wear high heels on the job. She launched the campaign after tweeting about being forced to wear high heels for a part-time job at a funeral parlor — and drew an overwhelming response from women.
“It’s hard to move, you can’t run and your feet hurt. All because of manners,” she wrote, saying that men did not face the same expectations.
