"Nuclear weapons cannot coexist with human beings.
Nuclear weapons were made by humans, and used by humans. So it is also up to the humans to abolish them by our wisdom, public conscience and responsibility.

No more Hibakusha! And, no more war!"

Masako Wada, Ass. Secretary General, #NihonHidankyo

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

"I was just 13 years old when the United States dropped the first atomic bomb, on my city Hiroshima. I still vividly remember that morning."

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of the city of Hiroshima, Japan. Setsuko Thurlow was one of the Japanese city's survivors. In 2017 she jointly accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo on behalf of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). During the ceremony, she gave a harrowing and emotional account of the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima.

Both ICAN and 2024 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nihon Hidankyo work tirelessly to achieve a world without nuclear weapons.

80 years ago, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima changed history forever.

The hibakusha are living witnesses to the true human cost of nuclear weapons. Their voices urge us to act with hope, compassion & courage for peace.

Keiko Ogura was just eight years old when she experienced the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. She recalls August 6, 1945—the flash, the wind, and the desperate cries of people calling for help. Her testimony serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors that must never be repeated.

🧵On July 16, 1945, the U.S. conducted the first-ever nuclear explosion in New Mexico. This was not an empty desert, as some claim, it was home to Indigenous Peoples and other local communities. There was plant and animal life, and sacred sites.
