Sanae Takaichi Set To Become Japan’s First Female Prime Minister
Japan is poised to get its first female prime minister as the ruling Liberal Democratic Party elects Sanae Takaichi as its new leader. Known for her ultra-conservative stance and admiration for Shinzo Abe and Margaret Thatcher, Takaichi supports traditional family values, male-only imperial succession, and opposes same-sex marriage. While her rise marks a historic moment for women in Japan, experts warn her leadership could reinforce conservative norms in a country already lagging in gender equality.
