RTT Japan
Welcome to RTT Japan! We are youth from Japan who share the goal of nuclear disarmament and abolition. Two cities in Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, experienced nuclear bombings, which left tremendous sorrow and trauma among people in the cities and across the country. Recognizing the negative impacts of nuclear weapons on individuals and communities in Japan and beyond, RTT Japan supports Japan’s ratification of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and works to expand the global network of youth who combat the threats of nuclear weapons.
