Muraki emphasizes that LGBT employees in Japan may experience discomfort about their environment that could pressure them to change careers, or experience depression and fatigue.[1] She advocates for more LGBT-friendly office policies, such as a restriction on anti-LGBT statements and hotlines to offer support to LGBT employees.[1] She has also encouraged Japan to adopt anti-discrimination laws, improve gay representation in the media,[4] and to allow gays to marry.[2]
Today, she gives presentations to corporations and government offices on the equal treatment of gay and lesbians in workplace environments.[1][2] She is the author of the "LGBT Workplace Handbook" and "Introduction to LGBT in the workplace."[3] Her organization, Nijiiro Diversity, received a Google Impact Challenge grant in 2015.[5]
