For 80 years the hibakusha courageously shared the experience of living through atomic bombings and demanding an end to nuclear weapons. The #NuclearBan is our best path forward, and after 80 years, the time has come to make nuclear weapons history.

"It is up to people like me, like you, to stand up against these weapons and the leaders who threaten the world with them," says Koko Kondo who was only eight months old when her city was destroyed by the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

“A new type of bomb was dropped.” Watch Yoshie Oka's testimony (courtesy of Ari Beser's Goss Grove Films) of the moments after the US dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and join her call for an end to nuclear weapons.

I just learned about the harm caused to the downwinders community in New Mexico by the first nuclear explosion. 80 years of nuclear threats is long enough, let's make nuclear weapons history. #nuclearban

Jongkeun Lee was 16 years old when he survived the atomic bomb, reminding us thousands of Korean people were also impacted by the nuclear bombings of Japan. Join Jongkeun and other Hibakusha to call for all nations to join the nuclear ban treaty.

Setsuko Thurlow was 13-years-old on 6 August 1945 in Hiroshima. Most of its residents were civilians who were incinerated, vaporised, carbonised – including 351 of her schoolmates. Raise your voice with Setsuko and join the call to end nuclear weapons.

"I was 13 years old when I experienced the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. Everywhere, many victims with heavy injuries and hundreds of dead bodies were left unattended. It was literally hell." - Terumi Tanaka, a Hibakusha dedicated to anti-nuclear action.

"Some people were burned, some were injured, some had babies in their arms, some couldn't walk, and some were lying there…" Rumi Hanagaki was five when the US dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima. She  works to make sure these stories are not forgotten.
