Black Lives Matter Movement
Japan
peaceful march around Tokyo
People in this march
Juniper Alexander (Activists who led the movement)
more than 3000 people
Incidence/Impact
Japan's education on racial discrimination is not very adequate. Not just African Americans, some people from remote countries also face discrimination in Japan. These people who come to live in Japan cannot find jobs.
Some Japanese media published articles and videos to tell people something about the Black Lives Matter incident. But it is filled with many stereotypes about African Americans that violate their dignity. The companies eventually removed the videos and articles and issued public apologies.
Year it started
June 2020
Possible solutions
Every year many foreigners come to Japan to study and work. You can add a foreigner to every class and educate people about racism.
What causes this march
The death of George Floyd while being restrained by police in the United States has sparked differing views on police brutality and racial discrimination. So Black Lives Matter Japan organized a peaceful march to tell people about their goals and hopes.
China
People
five nigerians
event
At the height of the coronavirus, five Nigerians in Guangzhou tested positive. As suspicion continued, rumors spread quickly that eventually five Nigerians were spreading the disease.
Because of this rumor, many restaurants refused to serve them and some people of color.
HK
Victims
a man
Incidence/Impact
Acts of violence by the police are not uncommon in Hong Kong. This is also a reason for this incident, and the main reason is racial discrimination.
Year it started
April / May 2020
Canada
Victims and event
In 2012, a police officer claimed to have accidentally shot and killed a black man. Because of this incident, people in Canada co-founded the Black Lives Matter movement. In 2014, another similar incident occurred. Some of the police officers at the time were anti-Black racist.
Nowadays, the Black Lives Matter movement has been established in various regions in Canada, such as Toronto, Vancouver, and Waterloo Region.
Year it started
November 2014
Activists who led the movement
Sandy Hudson and Janaya Khan founded the Black Lives Matter Toronto chapter in 2014. The first event started in November of the same year.
Incidence/Impact
They have accomplished some of these goals through sit-ins and events to provide more resources and funding to racialized communities. A few years ago 'accidental' shootings of black people would have happened, but because of these activities they almost never happen anymore.
Possible solutions
Canada's Black Lives Matter organization has built free schools and activity rooms specifically for black children, which can reduce some unnecessary racial discrimination. They also hold regular events to promote some of the organization's goals.
Australia
Victims and Event
In 2013, George Zimmerman shot and killed an African American, which was the main event that led to the establishment of Black Lives Matter. In 2014, two more similar shootings occurred.
What really sparked protests about race and local indigenous issues in Australia was the death of George Floyd when a police officer crushed his neck.
This incident has drawn attention to the deaths of Aboriginal people in prisons in Australia. An Aboriginal man was killed by prison officers after eating biscuits in prison. These events have heightened people's attention to these events.
Activists who led the movement
The Center for Crime, Law and Justice (CCLJ) co-organized an online conference. The conference focused on the topic of Aboriginal Lives Matter, with speakers Teela Reid, Alison Whittaker and Peta MacGillivray referring to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Incidence/Impact
Black Lives Matter and the American Civil Rights Movement have had a great impact on the world. These movements have provided some assistance to Aboriginal Lives Matter in Australia.
30 years on, some Australian researchers are still investigating and discussing deaths in prisons. The number of people who died in prison was not small.
Possible solutions
Defunding the police (defunding the police), or reinvesting, could be implemented that would improve the situation today.
