Many lectures and seminars are provided by the Fusae lchikawa Memorial Association, and FIMA plays an important role in offering political education, from politically neutral standpoints.

In particular, the Center to Promote Women's Involvement in Politics,started in April 1994, is achieving good results by training would-be women candidates on the local level. This Center was designed to facilitate women's advancement into politics, as at present the ratio of women in the Diet stands at only 11% and local assemblies at only 6%, even 56 years after obtaining women's suffrage in Japan.

FIMA also acts as a homebase of activities for many women's NGOs such as the League of Women Voters of Japan , and offers an arena for a variety of activities. There are supporters of FIMA throughout Japan.
