New Japan Women's League

The New Japan Women's League (NJWL or Shin Nihon Fujin Dōmei), was a women's organization established on November 3, 1946 in order to improve women's legal status in Japan, and inform Japanese women about democracy and citizenship. Fusae Ichikawa served as the first president. The organization was strictly non-partisan.

The NJWL was influenced by pre-World War II suffrage organizations and did not mention gender equality or women in the workforce in its founding principles. NJWL and Ichikawa worked to "struggle against conservative social taboos." NJWL lobbied the government over laws and policies that were unequal in treatment of men and women.
