Jonet Menu

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.

Please tell us about your thoughts and feelings that weigh on your mind.

If you have any particular ‘salon’ purpose you wish to realise, please contact us and we will consider it. Our support activities mostly take place on Sundays. Please excuse us, as it may be possible that we are unable to match your schedule or fulfil all your requirements.
The number of participants for one Salon is around 20 persons.
We would like to hold a Salon especially in small, difficult to reach evacuation centres. And if there is space, we would also like to visit persons who are still living in their disaster-affected homes or in temporary housing.
