Marshallese Educational Initiative

It was great to reconnect with a familiar face we hadn't seen since the last NPT: Yuta Takahashi. Our executive director had a bilateral meeting with Yuuki Tokuda and Yuta Takahashi, both members of the Katawara Association, on the sidelines of the NPT Review Conference at the UN. In 2022, Benetick and Yuta presented a joint statement together at the NPT (see the last photos).

During their meeting, Hiroshima Home Television covered their discussions and conducted an interview with Benetick, who shared insights into his work on nuclear justice and abolition, as well as MEI's role in fostering awareness and advocacy. They also discussed MEI’s involvement at the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, which concluded on Friday.

Best wishes to Yuta, Yuuki, and the Katawara Association in their efforts to promote peace and educate others about the experiences of Japanese atomic survivors. You can follow their work at .you.
