Setsuko Thurlow, an honorary board member of ICMGLT, is featured in a poignant and informative two-part special by the BBC World Service’s Outlook program. Titled “The Hiroshima Survivor Who’s Still Shouting for Peace,” this broadcast powerfully captures her enduring advocacy for peace.

Setsuko Thurlow was a 13-year-old schoolgirl when an atomic bomb was dropped on her home city of Hiroshima, Japan. Most of the places she knew were destroyed in an instant. Narrowly escaping death herself, Setsuko became a witness to the brutal aftermath of atomic warfare, and the things she saw that day would compel her to spend her life fighting for nuclear disarmament.
