Thank you to all women.
Today is a day when such gratitude flows across the world.
We know that due to various circumstances,
some may find it difficult to celebrate this day wholeheartedly.
We understand. But still,
we want to convey this message just once.
The definition of "woman" is not predetermined.
Every woman has her own unique journey,
her own dreams, her own strength.
We believe that every woman,
with all her diverse experiences, is invaluable.
At FLOOM, many wonderful women work with us.
Some choose to become mothers, others do not.
Some wanted to but couldn't for various reasons.
These diverse ways of living and different values
are our irreplaceable treasure. We firmly believe this.
What can the women working at FLOOM do?
What can FLOOM do for all women in the world?
Creating an environment where all women can thrive,
including single mothers and women with diverse circumstances.
Beyond legally recognized adoption,
we now include domestic partnerships and same-sex partners in benefits.
We've also started subsidizing costs for fertility treatments,
egg freezing examinations, and related medical care.
For women facing particular challenges in life,
staff members who've had similar experiences
have begun offering beauty treatment volunteer services.
In the word "woman,"
how many different forms of strength exist?
One thing we can say for certain: each one is precious.
Today is International Women's Day. I'm so glad you're here with us.
To all women, thank you.
