Japanese lawmaker Naoki Hyakuta is facing severe backlash on his remarks about women. Here's what he said.
Naoki Hyakuta is facing severe backlash after making a controversial comment suggesting that women might need to «remove their uteruses» after 30 and help reverse the declining birthrate in Japan. Naoki Hyakuta, Japan's Conservative Party leader made the bizarre claim in a YouTube video where he discussed measures to increase the country's birthrate as part of a broader discussion on the challenges Japan faces due to its ageing population.
According to a report in the South China Morning Post, the leader of the Japanese Conservative Party also said the solution to the nation’s population crisis would be to ban women from getting married after the age of 25. He did not stop there.

His comments went quickly viral on social media, provoking an immediate and strong response. Many people slammed the minister for his regressive and discriminatory comments, sparking concerns about women's rights and reproductive freedom.
