Yumi Ishikawa

KuToo movement[edit]

In January 2019, Ishikawa wrote a complaint about the requirement to wear high heels at work, which was shared nearly 30,000 times and received more than 67,000 likes on Twitter.[16] She launched an online petition to call for a law that bans employers from forcing women to wear high heels.[17] The name of the KuToo movement derives from the Japanese words for shoes (kutsu) and pain (kutsū), as well as the Me Too movement.[18] In June 2019, Ishikawa submitted the petition to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.[19]
