Tokyo Shimbun Issued a palm-sized small newspaper on "Human Rights Day"

The Tokyo Shimbun (Chunichi Shimbun) published the "Silenced Newspaper" on December 10th, World Human Rights Day, gathering the voices of people considered social minorities.
While human rights issues have gained more media attention in recent years, it's difficult to say that all voices—such as women's rights, children from impoverished families, people with disabilities, and LGBT individuals—are being fully heard. This newspaper was created to visualize the realities faced by these social minorities, hoping to spark reflection on human rights.

Each page of the newspaper measures approximately 89mm x 63mm, fitting in the palm of your hand. Its eight-page spread features the unfiltered voices of eight groups of socially marginalized individuals and related parties: Mitsu Mangrove, Secret Guys (Japan's first FtM [formerly female] idol group), a young person with Down syndrome, a visually impaired person, an elderly person, a single mother, and the director of a children's cafeteria.

"Silenced Newspaper" was distributed on International Human Rights Day at three locations: beneath JR Shibuya Station's Mark City in Tokyo, where diverse people pass through; the Shibuya Gender Equality and Diversity Center "Iris"; and at a Secret Guys event.
Additionally, the entire newspaper can be read on the Tokyo Shimbun's special website ( http://www.tokyo-np.co.jp/ad/silencednewspaper/ ). For those wishing to receive a physical copy, 1,000 copies will be mailed out to selected applicants by lottery. (Application deadline: December 22)
