Tokyo, Japan – March 7th, 12:00-13:00 – In commemoration of International Women’s Day, Bloomberg (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo) hosted a seminar and screening event titled “She Creates Change” in a Lunch & Learn format.
The event aimed to celebrate the achievements of women globally and highlight the importance of empowering young girls for a better future.

The screening event, co-hosted by Bloomberg, was held for employees, attracting approximately 60 participants of various races and generations. Initially, Kaori Matsumaru, Director of Room to Read Japan, introduced the literacy and gender equality education initiatives carried out by Room to Read over the past 20 years.
Following that, the event featured a screening of two recently completed films with Japanese subtitles titled “She Creates Change.” All participants earnestly watched as the films depicted how girls, supported by Room to Read, utilize life skills they have developed to overcome challenges and thrive as change-makers.
After the screening event, we received lively feedback and questions, and discussions were held on what can be done for gender equality.
Bloomberg engages in activities rooted in Room to Read’s belief that “World Change Starts with Educated Children” through donations and employee volunteer participation across regions worldwide. We express our deep gratitude for this opportunity and look forward to building deeper relationships in Japan in the future.
