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 coast of Minamisanriku

 
Traces of the railway tracks coming from the tunnel have disappeared.
We climbed the crumbled sections of the railway to take a look.
It felt like walking on a glacier.  
 

 

 
This place has become a dumping ground for oversized garbage.  

 

 
There are still some pieces of driftwood and boats remaining.  

 
 The steps in the bottom right-hand corner are those of the seaside park.  

 
Wire nets can be found scattered here and there.  

 
It appears that this boat has been hauled ashore using two ropes.  

 
 
Remains of the oyster-shelling building.  

 
The work floor.  

 
It appears they are preparing to reopen for business.

The splintered remains of boats.
