Women's Liberation

Japanese: 女性解放 - じょせいかいほう

The liberation of women from sex discrimination in all spheres: politics, economy, society, culture, and the family. The causes of discrimination against women are related to the physical differences between men and women. This distinguishes sex discrimination from other forms of discrimination such as class discrimination, racism, and discrimination against people with disabilities, and is the reason why the task of women's liberation is not included in or eliminated as a task of overcoming other forms of discrimination. However, physical sex differences do not necessarily or inevitably lead to sex discrimination; rather, this occurs under the following social conditions.

Japanese:

政治，経済，社会，文化，家族のあらゆる領域での性差別から，女性が解放されること。女性に対する差別の原因は，男女の身体的性差と関係している。このことが，性差別が階級差別，人種差別，障害者差別などの他の差別と区別される点であり，女性解放の課題が，他の差別の克服の課題に含まれたり解消されたりしない理由である。とはいっても，身体的性差が必然的･宿命的に性差別をもたらすのではなく，次に述べるような社会的条件のもとで，そうなるのである。
