Message Concerned with Damage by Rumor about Radiation Exposure
News reports said that evacuees from Fukushima prefecture, where nuclear plant accident occurred, were refused to provide service at hotels or gas stations. According to other news, elementary school students who evacuated from Fukushima were bullied at school.
It can be human rights infringement to discriminate people by unreasonable bias or prejudice, even if it is motivated by anxiety for radiation effects.
How do you feel if you were a victim of the earthquake and experienced discrimination at the place you moved to?
We should be considerate of feelings of others with tenderness and overcome this adverse circumstance together.
