Eight of her family members and 351 of her schoolmates and teachers were killed in the attack. After World War II, she moved to Canada after studying in the United States, and is a leading figure in "the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons - ICAN".
She gave a speech on behalf of ICAN at the award ceremony of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. ICAN won the Nobel Peace Prize for its work in drawing attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons. It was reported that her many speeches at the United Nations have brought diplomats to tears and strengthened their personal resolve to eliminate the nuclear menace. Her many presentations at schools, as part of the New York-based Hibakusha Stories project, have had a profound impact on the lives of thousands of students. For her work in trying to achieve a more peaceful and just world, she has received numerous honors, including the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Award in 2012.
The city of Hiroshima designated her a “peace ambassador” in 2014 and the Arms Control Association (ACA), an American “think tank” in Washington, named her “arms control person of the year” for 2015. In 2016, she received the Ahmadiyya Muslim Peace Prize.
