This project is a studio practice inspired by the actual gender discrimination happening in the medical field, aiming to unite and empower medical students and professionals fighting against discrimination in the field.
In the summer of 2018, people discovered that Tokyo Medical University in Japan has been discriminating against students upon their gender and age in the entrance exam. This school was not the only institute involved in this incident, and even now, gender discrimination is still taking place in both the academic and professional fields of medicine.

RESEARCHES AND SOLUTION
I reached out to doctors and interviewed 3 in Japan, over the 13 hours difference. An online survey was also done, and received more than 30, mostly revealing their appalling experience of discrimination.
As a solution to this issue, I suggest a nonprofit organization to support and empower young doctors, especially in Japan.
Because this incident started in Japan, research papers are done in English and Japanese.

DESIGN DECISION
The visual language aimed to show how discrimination is happening right now.
The amount of pink in each poster is precisely 83.8%, which is the ratio of doctors who revealed the experience of gender discrimination in my survey. One of the quotes is from the actual words from a doctor who answered the online survey.
