The recognition for women's problem is, first of all, necessary when we argue on the legal status of women and the policy for the advancement of women. It was in 1985 that "The United Nations Decade for Women" came to an end. And the guide line of women's elevation to the desirable status toward the year of 2000, what we call "The Forward-Looking Strategies" for solution of women's problem were shown in the world conference in Nairobi. Such a standard of the world conference for "The United Nations Decade for Women" was wholly based on "The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women"(in June, 1985, in Japan ratified). The policy for the advancement of women as well as the elevation of legal status of women nowadays in Japan depend of course upon The National Plan of Act on the basis of "The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women."
