Youth Community for Global Hibakusha
Youth session to meet hibakusha in the world.
Our Story
During the First Meeting of the States Parties to the TPNW (1MSP) in June of 2022, survivors of nuclear weapons not only from Hiroshima and Nagasaki but also other parts of the world [Global Hibakusha] had an important role in spreading awareness about the impacts of nuclear weapons. On the other hand, opportunities to learn about Global Hibakusha including nuclear testing victims are limited for young people who study the atomic bombing effects and participate in peace activities. It is increasingly essential to convey the testimonies of nuclear weapons for the future generation, create solidarity among people from the impacted regions, and reflect more on the survivors' experiences in the treaty. To achieve these objectives, we would like to make opportunities for youths and Global Hibakusha to meet. To start with, we plan to deliver monthly online learning sessions where we can learn from each other and share ideas.
