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.

Evacuation centre in Ishinomaki City
It took the whole morning of 21 August for the first major clean-up of the centre since the disaster.
Hereafter, these cardboard box beds will be used.

If you want to eat just a peach, you need to go outside to the water basin to wash it.

There was a balloon rising in the shelter
Seeing the little boy’s figure is rather painful...

… he lost his mother

The Obon festival: It seems fresh flowers were left at the ruins of a house
