This year, the campaign will be focused on raising awareness about nuclear weapons and how it can destroy a country in seconds.

With 2015 also being the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, SGM echoes Soka Gakkai International’s global peace movement which calls for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
