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.

The Omoriya shop in Minamisanriku opens amidst the rubble





The following pictures represent the surroundings of Omoriya shop and the present condition of the town viewed from the shop

 

The object in the lower left corner of the picture is a fridge,
which has fallen in the entranceway and blocked the door




Asphalt pavement dragged from somewhere

There is no electricity.
The small amount of products have been neatly arranged



Only the tiles remind of the shop that stood there

The Omoriya shop has been restored.
Little by little the proprietress has rebuild it.







This building has been knocked over



Most of Minamisanriku has been cleared

A car stuck inside a knocked-down building
All kinds of rubbish float in the stagnant water








Residents of the neighbourhood help each other
to clear out the debris that flooded their homes


It looks like a plastic rug but it‘s actually a vinyl record
