19 Ağustos 2026Japan Times

Japan's ongoing discussions about migration highlight the challenges faced by migrant children in achieving a sense of belonging. This sense of belonging is frequently depicted as something that must be earned through adaptation and contributions to society.
The article sheds light on the hidden struggles these children encounter as they navigate their identities in a complex social landscape.
Japan has been historically homogeneous, and the recent increase in migration has sparked debates about cultural integration and national identity. Understanding the experiences of migrant children is crucial for fostering a more inclusive society that values diversity.
