Event Series: Hiroshima Day

Hiroshima Day

6 August , 2025 8:00 am 5:00 pm

On 6 and 9 August 1945, the United States dropped nuclear weapons on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This killed hundreds of thousands of people, decimated the cities, and left thousands more wounded and dying of radiation sickness—which has continued on to current generations.

WILPF members and Sections around the world join WILPF Japan in marking this event. We pay respects to its victims by continuing to agitate for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
