TOKYO - Yumi Ishikawa’s feet bled after a day in the high heels required by her job, a memory that led her and other Japanese activists to demand on Tuesday that forcing women to wear certain items be treated as workplace harassment.
The labor ministry drafted guidelines in October against workplace harassment - known as “power harassment” or “power hara”, but failed to address the issue of employers dictating how female employees should dress. Just hours before, Ishikawa and other activists submitted papers to the labor ministry calling for such dress codes to be seen as power harassment under the new guidelines, expected to be finalised this month.
