Around 80 hibakusha survivors of the atomic bombings attended a meeting in Tokyo, where they discussed the future of their advocacy efforts. The meeting, held by Nihon Hidankyo, a group of atomic bombing survivors, aimed to address the issue of passing their cause to the second generation.

The attendees, who included representatives of constituent groups from across Japan, gathered to talk about the next steps for their movement.

## What's at stake The meeting is significant as it highlights the need for the survivors to ensure that their message and experiences are not lost as they pass on the torch to the next generation.

The hibakusha survivors have been advocating for their cause for many years, and it is crucial that their efforts continue to be felt in the years to come.

## Next steps As the meeting comes to a close, it remains to be seen what concrete actions will be taken to pass the cause to the second generation. However, one thing is clear: the survivors are committed to keeping their message alive and ensuring that their experiences are not forgotten.
