Kalakasan: Empowering Filipino Women in Japan

In Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, there is a place that Filipino women living in Japan call "our home." The support group "Kalakasan" means "strength" in Tagalog. Since its establishment 22 years ago, it has been providing advice on all kinds of problems, from troubles with Japanese husbands to work, illness and money worries. It has been more than 40 years since the boom in Filipino women coming to Japan. We look at the current situation of Filipino women living in their second home, Japan, while supporting each other.
