Lawyer BAR: 'Lawsuit on Exclusion of Sex Industry Operators from COVID-19 Relief Funds'

A lawsuit filed against the government by a sex industry business that was excluded from the COVID-19 relief funds, branded as not gaining 'public understanding.' The plaintiff argued that this exclusion violates the constitution, which guarantees 'equality under the law.' The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff’s claims. Let’s consider together the background of the judgment, which made the plaintiff say, 'I cannot believe it protects human rights,' and Article 14 of the constitution. The speaker this time is one of the plaintiff's attorney team, attorney Kaori Deguchi (appearing online).
