Nihon Hidankyo Wins Nobel Peace Prize for Advocacy Against Nuclear Weapons

The Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo, a group representing atomic bomb survivors, has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its dedicated efforts to promote disarmament and combat the continued threat of nuclear weapons. This recognition highlights not only the enduring legacy of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings but also the urgent call for global denuclearisation. Survivors and advocates from the organization, who continue to share their stories of trauma and resilience, emphasize the importance of their work in inspiring awareness and action against nuclear proliferation. The Nobel Prize serves as a significant acknowledgment of their mission and hopes to galvanize worldwide efforts toward a nuclear-free future.
