Protecting the Rights of the Earthquake Disaster Victims

youseikatsudou01.jpegyouseikatsudou02.jpeg youseikatsudou03.jpeg

 The earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011 caused enormous damage and took away many lives. Moreover, the nuclear power plant disaster in Fukushima continues to threaten many people's health and lives. Our thoughts and sympathies are with those who are still suffering from the consequences of this tragedy, and those who lost their friends and family members.

Right after the disaster, Human Rights Now launched a project on the human rights situation of
earthquake,Tsunami and nuclear disaster related victims.
Our efforts include investigation of the human rights situations, publishing statements and 
reports, policy proposal based in international human rights standards, organizing seminars 
and briefing sessions with United Nations human rights experts.
Beginning in June 2011, Human Rights Now also provided legal aid services in Iwate and
Fukushima prefectures. Your kind support is appreciated to continue our work to ensure 
that the rights of the victims are protected.
