To improve the day care system is also necessary. The NJWA carries out the movement with special focus on reducing the day-care charges, eliminating unfairness in the charge system, and improving the nursery system with extended hours guaranteed, especially for babies under 12 months old. Apart from the rising educational expenses, in present Japanese society it is increasingly difficult for parents to rear children with peace of mind. Exposed to stress from a highly competitive, cramming-oriented school education, a society where corruption goes unchallenged, mass media and TV games full of scenes of sex, violence and killing, children are driven by the sense of annoyance and uncertainty. This has led to the increase in bullying, children's absenteeism, and the cases of injuring and even knifing.
Teachers now have difficulty even in conducting class for children in lower grades.
The NJWA works to achieve a drastic increase in education budgets, a smaller class size, better curriculum and a social consensus to reject decadent culture. Following a TV report released in February this year that high density of dioxin was detected from vegetables produced in Tokorozawa city, Saitama Prefecture, where industrial waste incineration facilities are concentrated, the waste and environment issue has become the center of public attention throughout the country. While holding 70 percent of the world's incinerators, Japan is 10 years behind European countries in terms of measures to control dioxin. A sense of impending crisis is growing especially among women. Pressed by the movement that has developed throughout the country for measures against dioxin damage, a law on special measures to control dioxin and its family members was enacted.
