Yet, the level of women\u2019s participation in Japanese decision-making bodies remains extremely low. In countries committed to gender equality, what efforts have been made and what achievements have been recorded? Notably, what changes have occurred within conventional decision-making institutions and processes as a result of women\u2019s leadership in the field of politics? Commemorating the 140th Anniversary of Ochanomizu Women\u2019s University and the inauguration of its Research Institute for Global Women\u2019s Leadership, this International Symposium will feature successful strategies and international examples of how to promote women\u2019s empowerment and political leadership.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date\/Time<\/strong>: Monday 12 Oct 2015, 13:00-18:00<br \/>\n<strong>Venue<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocha.ac.jp\/en\/access\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">102 Inter-Faculty Building 2, Ochanomizu University<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Program<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nFacilitator:\u00a0<strong>Ki-young Shin<\/strong>\u00a0(Ochanomizu University)<br \/>\n<strong>Opening<\/strong>\u00a013:00-13:30<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Kimiko Murofushi\u00a0<\/strong>(President, Ochanomizu University)<br \/>\n<strong>Masaharu Nakagawa<\/strong>\uff08Diet member; Executive Member of the Parliamentary Group for the Promotion of Women&#8217;s Participation and Empowerment in the Field of Politics)<br \/>\n<strong>Aiji Tanaka<\/strong>\u00a0(Waseda University; President, International Political Science Assosiation )<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"event\"><strong>Panel 1 13:30<\/strong>-15:30<br \/>\n<strong>Worldwide Trends of Gender Quotas<br \/>\n<\/strong>Chair:\u00a0<strong>Makoto Kobayashi<\/strong>\u00a0(Ochanomizu University\uff09<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mona Lena Krook\u00a0<\/strong>(Rutgers University, USA)<br \/>\n<em>Quotas for Women in Politics: Myths and Realities<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Jackie F.
