Youth Leading the Charge for a Nuclear-Free Future

Monday, March 3, 2025, United Nations Headquarters – Meetup with International Youth Advocating for a World Without Nuclear Weapons.

The 3rd Meeting of States Parties (MSP) to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) saw the participation of numerous young people from around the world who are passionate about creating a world without nuclear weapons.

Thanks to the initiative of SPARK youth, an opportunity for a meetup and exchange with young people from anti-nuclear peace organizations in the United States and Japan was made possible.

A total of 20 youth from various organizations, including SPARK, Peace Action New York State, Kakuwaka Hiroshima, Gensuikyo (Japan Council against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs), and Gensuikin (Japan Congress Against A and H-Bombs), participated in the meeting. Jin-tae Shim, a first-generation atomic bomb victim from Korea, and Jung-Soon Han, a second-generation victim, were also present to support and encourage the youth.

………………………..Following the introductions, the group discussed a variety of topics, including their interest in peace issues, their countries’ nuclear policies, and what sparked their interest in nuclear disarmament. Many intriguing ideas were exchanged…………………….. https://abombtribunal.campaignus.me/34/?q=YToxOntzOjEyOiJrZXl3b3JkX3R5cGUiO3M6MzoiYWxsIjt9&bmode=view&idx=159477468&t=board
