In particular, learning that there was a rapid decline in the stockpile of nuclearweapons coinciding with the establishment of organizations such as IPPNW.

Ultimately seeking to present its audience with a general, starting knowledge while encouraging further research and direct participation in the disarmament movement. Rooj and Avinash believe in addressing the lack of awareness among youth (15-24) and hope that those that visit the page feel empowered to learn more and join the tide of change in realizing a world free from the threat of nuclear weapons.
