What is Miyagi-Jonet?

MIYAGI JO-NET (Miyagi Women’s Support Network) is a non-profit organisation supporting women in the Tohoku area that was devastated by the earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. We aim to connect the women in the affected areas with women and supporters from around Japan and the world. To this end, we are cooperating with various other women’s and relief organisations. Our many projects are designed to help women individually in reconstructing their lives and livelihoods. We thereby hope to brighten their everyday a little bit. We also collect relief/support goods and other donations to distribute them among the women and families affected by the disaster. Through regular meetings, our ‘salons,’ and consultations, we gain insight into women’s needs and concerns, and propose adequate measures to local and regional administrations.

Many of Miyagi Jonet’s members are women affected themselves by the disaster.

29 May in Our Office


On a rainy Sunday,
Mr Eitaro Sekimoto and Mr Kubo Shunichi, both of the “Research Group for Promoting Citizens Media Networks to Improve Access to Information,” and Mr Naoto Anzai of the “Digital Storytelling Research Centre” came to our office. Both organisations belong to the cooperation network “Connecting People, Connecting Neighbourhoods.”
Saying that he would like to help people in the disaster areas, Mr Anzai kindly donated rice vouchers. Thank you very much!
