We hope for this page to serve as a resource for ongoing and future efforts to continue to listen and learn from nuclear survivors about their horrifying experiences and important lessons, so as to take actions to ensure their rights and dignity and to realize a world free of nuclear weapons.
This page will include a list of relevant resources, information and initiatives for future reference and action. Anyone is welcome to share with us information to be included on this site.
