Japanese airline lets female flight attendants ditch high heels and wear trousers for the first time www.independent.co.uk

A Japanese airline is finally letting female flight attendants wear trousers and flat shoes instead of skirts and high heels following a nationwide campaign.
“This will be the first time to introduce trousers and to provide additional options for footwear,” an airline spokesperson told Reuters.
The decision follows a nationwide social media movement, #KuToo, which calls for workplaces to ditch dress code rules that force women to wear high heels.
Ishikawa launched the KuToo hashtag when she tweeted about her experience of being obliged to wear high heels when working at a funeral parlour.
