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.

Games of the children



Strips of paper (with wishes written on them) hanged  as decoration for the Tanabata festival (which is celebrated on the night of 7 July)
There were many wishes connected with the local mascot hero.

One of the children in the shelter in the
city of Shizugawa shows his “weapons“












 



The object in the previous picture is a boxing glove
His little hand fits in tightly.


Everything is made from newspapers,
duct tape and nylon string.
