Lanterns for Peace

This year marks the 75th year since the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The impacts of the detonations of these nuclear weapons over the two cities are still being felt generations later. Lanterns are one of the traditions that over the years has honoured those who were lost.

As well as honouring the people who lost their lives to nuclear weapons, and to the cancers caused by them later on in life, WILPF is also taking action to ensure this will never happen again. Join our campaign 4 Days of Action against Nuclear Weapon Spending, and take part in our Lanterns for Peace event. Make your lantern, and share it with us using the hashtag #LanternsForPeace. Find more information on this event on our google drive toolbox, including how to make a lantern for peace, and how to join our Wave of Lanterns for Peace.
