Join us for an insightful and powerful discussion as we engage with a Hibakusha (survivor of the atomic bomb) and the past President of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW). This special event will amplify voices that have witnessed the devastating effects of nuclear warfare firsthand and those committed to preventing it.
Through the lived experience of the Hibakusha and the advocacy of the IPPNW leader, this discussion will explore the profound impacts of nuclear weapons on humanity, the ongoing threat of nuclear war, and the critical role of global peace efforts. Together, we will examine how we can all contribute to a world where peace, diplomacy, and disarmament are prioritized.
Whether you are passionate about peace, human rights, or international diplomacy, this event promises to leave you inspired and motivated to contribute to a world free from nuclear threats. Be part of the conversation - Amplify the Voice for Peace!
