HANWA (Hiroshima Alliance for Nuclear Weapons Abolition)

The Hiroshima Alliance for Nuclear Weapons Abolition is an umbrella organization that includes members of all the major organizations working for peace in Hiroshima. It was founded on March 20, 2001, in an effort to unify Hiroshima’s peace movement and facilitate peace actions on a scale larger than any of the groups could accomplish alone. All members join as individuals, but most informally represent substantial constituencies that can be mobilized when HANWA comes up with an idea deemed acceptable to all. The stated purpose of HANWA is to eliminate all nuclear weapons. The membership currently stands at approximately 400 people. The present mission was initiated by HANWA and is supported by all peace groups in Hiroshima. At least 7 members of this mission are members of the Nagasaki Alliance for Nuclear Weapons Abolition. The combined delegation is expected to number between 25 and 30.
