At the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan July 3, 2014
We, Fukushima Women against Nukes (Women of Fukushima Demand End to Nuclear Power), submitted the following 4 demands to the Ministry of Environment, which has critical responsibilities for decontamination and monitoring of radioactive materials, removal of earthquake debris and tainted soil as well as health care program for victims of the nuclear accidents.
- Make plans to reduce radioactive exposure and carry them out immediately, getting out of too much dependence on decontamination.
- Based on the principle of the Act for relief and support of the nuclear power plant disaster victims, especially the affected children, make drastic changes to the policies of the Ministry of Environment in dealing with the affected areas, victims, and radioactive contamination.
- Listen to voices of victims and reflect them to the policies from now on.
- Environment Minister, Nobuteru Ishihara, shall resign.
