Dear Maribel -- When Setsuko Thurlow was a 13-year-old schoolgirl, she survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. For decades, she has been a tireless, leading voice in the global campaign to abolish nuclear weapons, and today, I want to invite you to hear her incredible story in her own words.  The BBC World Service has just released a two-part special of its Outlook programme: “The Hiroshima survivor who's still shouting for peace” and it is truly a moving and informative broadcast. Listen to Part 1 Listen to part 2 For decades, Setsuko has warned governments that inaction is not an option: nuclear weapons must be totally eliminated if we are to ensure that no other city ever suffers the same fate as hers. Her powerful speeches have inspired countless people around  the world - and so many of us at ICAN - to take action for disarmament.  And she was of course instrumental in achieving the adoption and entry into force of the UN treaty banning nuclear weapons, and continues to be an outspoken advocate for it.  I hope you will let her story inspire you to keep taking action to end nuclear weapons.   Kind regards, Alistair Burnett Head of Media ICAN Support ICAN's work © International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) 2023 Place de Cornavin 2, Geneve 1201, Switzerland  This email was sent to maribel.hernandez@periodistes.org · Unsubscribe
