	<< Back "DAWN" Newsletter of The DAWN CENTER The programs of the Dawn Center that help support "Women and work" Since its 1994 inauguration, the Dawn Center has planned and held 'Programs to help support women starting businesses' for the purpose of facilitating the empowerment of women. The programs meet with the trend to create new work, and have attracted a lot of women who want to create new businesses such as venture businesses concerning IT (information technology), SOHO (small office, home office), and businesses caring for the elderly, and successfully help support them. The participants in these programs have a strong drive to create new businesses, so we are supporting them with programs such as setting up opportunities to consult specialists according to their progress in their enterprise. At the same time, in Japan, there are more and more young people in their twenties or thirties who do not work regularly but work part-time or temporarily (see page 10). They have a different outlook about work. As we feel it necessary to enlighten "the relation between work and lifestyle" to young people, we are now taking up the new projects listed below. Program to start-up work (targeted at women in their twenties) Held in September, 2001, four sessions over two days Program to build-up work (targeted at women in their thirties) Held in October, 2001, four sessions over two days Program to support women entrepreneurs (everyone welcome) Scheduled in February, 2002, twelve sessions over four days Back issues of "Dawn" 1996 "Introduction of Dawn Center" 1997 "Japanese Women Seek Solidarity with Asian Women" 1998 "The Present State of Violence toward Women in Japan" 1999 "Women's Bodies and Women's Health" 2000 "Women and Politics" Page Top Copyright (C) DawnCenter.
