In Japan, the Supreme Court ruled in July 2024 that the provisions of the former Eugenic Protection Law concerning sterilization operations for people with disabilities were in violation of the constitution. However, there remain many issues related to SRHR in Japan.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in the United States, the debate over the right to abortion has always been one of the key issues in the US presidential election, and concerns have been raised about the impact of the presidential election held in November 2024 on SRHR.<\/p>\n This symposium will discuss challenges and prospects for the situation surrounding SRHR in Japan and the United States.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Opening Remarks<\/strong><\/p>\n Tokuko Munesue\uff08Professor, Waseda University\uff09<\/p>\n Presentation 1<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in the United States: History, Recent Changes, and Impact of the US Presidential Election\u201d<\/p>\n Dean Harris (Associate Professor, University of North Carolina (retired))<\/p>\n Presentation 2<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cReproductive Rights and Japan’s Eugenic Protection Law \u201c<\/p>\n Maho Toyoda (Professor, Waseda University)<\/p>\n Coffee Break<\/strong><\/p>\n Designated Discussant\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Yasushi Katsuma (Professor, Waseda University)<\/p>\n Hanwen Xu (Master’s Program Graduate Student, Waseda University)<\/p>\n Q\uff06A<\/strong><\/p>\n Closing Address<\/p>\n Yasushi Katsuma\uff08Professor, Waseda University\uff09<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u30fbDean Harris<\/strong> (Associate Professor, Department of Health Policy and Management, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Hill (retired))<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.ufl.li\/personen\/prof-dean-harris-jd-109<\/a><\/p>\n \u30fbMaho Toyoda<\/strong>\uff08Professor, Waseda University; Waseda Institute for Global Health\uff09<\/p>\n https:\/\/w-rdb.waseda.jp\/html\/100001322_ja.html<\/a><\/p>\n \u30fbYasushi Katsuma<\/strong>\uff08Professor, Waseda University; Director, Institute for Global Health, Waseda University; Director, Department of Global Health Affairs & Governance, Institute for Global Health Policy Research (iGHP), National Center for Global Health & Medicine (NCGM)\uff09<\/p>\n https:\/\/w-rdb.waseda.jp\/html\/100000769_ja.html<\/a><\/p>\n \u30fbHanwen Xu<\/strong> (Master’s Program Graduate Student, School of Social Sciences, Waseda University)<\/p>\n \u30fbTokuko Munesue<\/strong>\uff08Professor, Waseda University; Waseda Institute for Global Health\uff09<\/p>\n https:\/\/w-rdb.waseda.jp\/html\/100001789_ja.html<\/a><\/p>\n\u3010Purpose of the Event\u3011<\/h5>\n
