Petitions on Change.org cover a wide range of issues, from ending gender-based violence to advocating for reproductive rights. One popular petition with thousands of signatures calls for pay equity in the workplace, highlighting the wage gap between men and women. Another petition focuses on ending child marriage and protecting young girls from harmful practices.
By exploring these petitions and getting involved, you can support the advancement of womens rights globally. Your participation can help create a more equitable society for all individuals, regardless of gender. Join the movement and be part of the change for a more inclusive and just world.
As a woman who has been sexually assaulted more than once, it’s crazy to me that we are allowing men in woman’s spaces. This is opening doors to predators & it needs to stop. Why are woman’s rights being violated? Why are their feelings validated, but ours silenced? Create a space for them, so that we can have ours.
I'm a female soldier who was attacked by male service members in a shower trailer while serving in Iraq. That horror still follows me 15 years later. Men do not belong in women's spaces. Protect women and girls. There are already gender
I was incredibly excited to see RGG Studio's announcement of Yakuza Kiwami 3 last week. As a longtime fan of the Like a Dragon series, I've been greatly anticipating such a remake and was over the moon to finally receive confirmation of its existence. However, the decision to cast Teruyuki Kagawa as Goh Hamazaki overshadows any desire I may have to support this title. I cannot in good conscience play this game knowing that in doing so, I am endorsing this man and minimizing the experiences of his victims.
In a series whose DNA is so closely tied to the personhood and humanisation of workers in the adult entertainment and cabaret industries, a man who has made his name synonymous with the harassment of those workers should not be welcome. RGG Studio has built itself upon games that espouse values in direct opposition to Kagawa's actions.
I urge RGG Studio and Sega to live up to these values and recast both the voice and likeness of the character Goh Hamazaki in Yakuza Kiwami 3.
As a studio that has previously recast a likeness character in Judgment following its actor, Pierre Taki's, drug use indictment a mere three months before the game's western release, I trust that they will continue to uphold this standard and will tackle Kagawa's controversy with similar urgency.
Until such time, I cannot support the release of Yakuza Kiwami 3, and have cancelled my preorder of the game. I sincerely hope that RGG Studio and Sega listen to their fans in this matter.
The Like a Dragon series is deeply important to me. I hope it can remain so.
I rarely speak out in the fandom. However, as a survivor of sexual assault, I find it impossible to support this project and RGG's decision to collaborate with a confirmed harasser.
