Abstract
Even nowadays when forty-eight years already passed after the article 24 of the Japanese Constitution provided the essential equality of the two genders in accordance with the equality under the law in the article 14 of the Japanese Constitution in the democratic reconstruction of this country, we can't succeed to remove the social discrimination due to the difference of the two genders. In accordance with these legal situations, the social movements to aim the emancipation of the women are very popular even in present developed capitalist countries. Their metamorphoses were done from the women's movement before 60's years through women's liberation at 70's years to the redical feminism after 80's years. Since the Stalinist regeme of the socialist countries collapsed and ruined itself although the only two exceptions of North Korea and Red China remained, the above-mentioned social movements to aim the human emancipations are thought not to escape to break up and to diverse. In these political situations, I think to analyse the problems of law and gender as follow. 1. Significance of this symposium 2. Purposes of this report in the symposium 3.
