【SDGs】祝福の場がすべての人が寄り添える社会のきっかけに

従来の形にとらわれない“愛の誓い”をプロデュースしている渡部恵理さん。以前、世界一周の旅先で性的マイノリティのカップルに出会い、その声と想いに触れたことで、国籍や性別を問わず、誰もが“愛を表現できる場”を提供したいと考え、この取り組みを始めました。今後は、ブライダル業界に「あり方の自由」を尊重する考え方を広め、次の世代に「それぞれの生き方を祝福する文化」を根付かせたいと語る渡部さんの思い描く未来とは？

Ms. Eri Watanabe produces "Love Vows" that are not constrained by traditional conventions. Having previously met couples who were in a sexual or gender minority while traveling around the world. She was touched by their voices and feelings； she wanted to provide a "place where anyone can express their love," regardless of nationality or gender, and so she began this initiative. Going forward, Watanabe hopes to spread the idea of respecting the "freedom of existence" in the bridal industry and to instill "a culture that celebrates each individual’s way of life" in the next generation. What kind of future does she envision?
