ドーンセンター 売らないでください！ Don't sell the Dawn Center!

抗議活動 ２００８年２月２９日
February 29, 2008 protest in Osaka

ドーンセンターはあらゆる分野に男女がともに参加・参画し、いきいきと生活できる社会を実現するために、女性の社会的自立、情報ネットワーク、国際交流、文化表現の拠点と­してさまざまな事業を展開しています。

The Dawn Center is an institution dedicated to the promotion of independence and equal opportunity for men and women. With "women" as its key word, the Dawn Center provides extensive information, lectures and such for the purpose of developing and fostering ability and learning, women's counseling, promotion of international exchanges, and implementation of various projects using the many functions of the facility. In addition, there is a hall and meeting rooms that residents of the prefecture can broadly use as places for exchange, learning, culture, creativity and expression.


「好きやねんドーンセンターの会」は、ドーンセンタービルの売却、ドーンセンターの機能縮小、大阪府男女共同参画政策の後退を心配する府民が集まってできた、ボランタリー­な会です。大阪府男女共同参画政策を維持、推進するため、大阪府橋下知事の打ち出す政策を厳しくチェックしていきます。何よりも、ドーンセンターの売却、機能の縮小に反対­します。


Last month, the new governor of Osaka, Toru Hashimoto, announced his plan to shut down and sell or privatize 25 public facilities in an attempt to end the prefecture's financial crisis. Except for two libraries, Hashimoto argues that no prefectural facilities merit further public funding. Included among the sites slated for closure is the Dawn Center, which for 14 years has been providing the citizens of Osaka and beyond with a diverse range of programs united behind a single aim: putting equality into practice.

Osaka Prefecture is in financial difficulties.

Considering the purpose of use, the Dawn Center spend too much money.

What is Hashimoto's real reason for closing this center? Does a friend own the land?
