Ayaka Shiomura, a member of the Tokyo assembly, was told to get married while she tried to debate support for childrearing.

Senior Japanese politicians have urged the Tokyo city government to "clean up its act" after an assemblywoman was subjected to
sexist abuse during a debate on support for childrearing.

The incident drew criticism from across the political spectrum after unidentified male assembly members,
all thought to belong to the conservative Liberal Democratic party (LDP), shouted abuse at Ayaka Shiomura
as she questioned the city administration's commitment to helping pregnant women and young mothers, as Japan attempts to tackle its low birthrate.

One shouted: "You're the one who should get married as soon as possible." Another asked if she was able to have children,
prompting laughter among other male councillors.

Colleagues of Shiomura, a 35-year-old member of the centre-right Your party, demanded that the hecklers be identified and punished.
The LDP's Tokyo chapter did not deny the remarks were made but said there was insufficient evidence to punish individual councillors.
The outbursts are an embarrassment to the prime minister and leader of the LDP, Shinzo Abe, who is pushing to increase the number of women
in senior positions in business and improve Japan's poor standing in global gender equality rankings.
