Hiroshima

For the first time, an international legal instrument on nuclear weapons recognizes the disproportionate impact on both women and indigenous people.

It’s been 73 years this week since the United States detonated atomic bombs over the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan during the final stages of World War II. The bombings happened on the mornings of 6th and 9th August, 1945 respectively. Today, they remain the only use of nuclear weapons in war.
