On January 22nd, 2021, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons  entered into force. It’s the first international treaty that comprehensively prohibits any activities related to nuclear weapons, that includes developing, testing, producing, and manufacturing.

An interesting dynamic has emerged in recent years at the UN: to have this kind of shift in the narrative about what does security really mean?

In this episode, Anna Ikeda with Sokka Gakkai International and Mary Yelenick with Pax Christi International discuss the importance of the treaty, and how it connects to nonviolence and what each one of us can do.
