Past surveys have revealed comments such as, "There is no rest room in the department where I can lie down temporarily when I feel unwell during pregnancy," and "I expressed breast milk in a toilet stall."
The Diversity and Inclusion Promotion Headquarters believes that such break rooms should naturally be provided in each department, and we are working to promote this through the university's facilities department. However, in some departments, progress in providing these rooms is not being made due to reasons such as a lack of available rooms.
Therefore, we offer equipment rentals to ensure a minimum level of private space.

Overview

We lend out equipment to ensure you have a clean, private space when you need to lie down temporarily due to feeling unwell during pregnancy or when you need to express breast milk.

Target users

Female faculty members, researchers, and students at this university who are pregnant or require breastfeeding.
