Overview of the Kitakyushu Forum on
Asian Women (KFAW)

Establishment Prospectus
In the international community today, efforts are under way on a global scale to realize world
peace and enhance the well-being of humankind.
To advance the status of women as well, global-scale activities were vigorously carried out
during the United Nations Decade for Women following the International Womenʼs Year in 1975,
toward the goals of “equality, development and peace,” based on the idea that a nationʼs overall
development and world welfare and peace require social participation by both men and women in
all areas. Today, however, many problems remain to be solved in advancing the actual status of
women. Therefore, the spirit of the United Nations Decade for Women has been carried forward,
and all over the world efforts are under way in line with the “Nairobi Forward-looking Strategies
for the Advancement of Women,” adopted with the target year 2000 at the Nairobi Conference.
Womenʼs issues involve various disadvantages and inequalities that befall women simply becauseof their gender. Womenʼs issues, therefore, concern basic human rights and human dignity. In
this sense, womenʼs issues affect not only women, but society as a whole, including men. Womenʼsissues are universal. From this perspective, we now recognize the need to reform todayʼs society
in which womenʼs views have rarely been reﬂected and build a society with the joint participation
by both sexes. In developing countries, the promotion of both national development and womenʼsparticipation in such development have become issues of great importance.
In recognition of the significance of womenʼs issues, and based on various activities carriedout since the International Womenʼs Year, the Kitakyushu Forum on Asian Women began its
activities with Kitakyushu Cityʼs “Hometown Creation Project.” Since then, the Forum has been
conducting research into, and collecting and disseminating information on, womenʼs issues inJapan and the rest of Asia, providing training for human resource development in developing
countries and organizing international exchange programs to promote mutual understanding,thereby assuming a central role in advancing the status of women and promoting solidarity anddevelopment in the Asian region.
As interdependency in the international community gains in strength, and Japanʼs role therein
becomes increasingly important, we must deepen our awareness of the mission and signiﬁcanceof the Kitakyushu Forum on Asian Women as a foundation to secure a stable financial base,further improve activities, further clarify the meaning of womenʼs issues in Japanese society,contribute to the advancement of the status of women in Asia, and achieve the goals of theInternational Womenʼs Year: “Equality, Development and Peace” (quoted from the KFAW charter
which was drawn up in 1993).

In 1989, a national project, Furusato-sosei (Hometown Revitalization Project), was implemented in allmunicipalities. For this project, the City of Kitakyushu committed JPY 100 million to establish KFAW.
