The memory of Yayori Matsui, a journalist and women's rights activist who passed away at the end of 2002, will live on in a collection of her papers being established by the Asia-Japan Women's Resource Center in Tokyo.
Matsui, a reporter at the Asahi Shimbun for many years, died of liver cancer at age 68 in December 2002.
She was known for her coverage of women's issues, human rights and the environment, and was a tireless campaigner for women's rights in Asia.
