She is a fifteen year old girl from Belarus, but was unfortunate enough to be born in the fall out zone from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.Annya was born in 1990 in a village highly contaminated by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear meltdown. A cancerous brain tumour at the age of four marked the end of Annya's childhood and the beginning of a life of pain and illness. Annya has spent her life in and out of hospital, every 15 minutes of every night; she must be turned in order to prevent further pain and bedsores.Twenty years after the disaster, Annya, and her parents battle everyday with the cruel and personal legacy of Chernobyl. For Annya and for the thousands of children like her, you need to speak out and say NO more nuclear, NO more Chernobyls. If you don't, who will?Call on the UN to stop its promotion of a dirty, dangerous industry and focus its resources exclusively on its critical mission of disarmament and world peace. Latest successes After 10 years of difficult, dangerous work, and action by thousands of activists one of the world's great world's treasures, the Great Bear Rainforest in Canada has been saved from destruction.In December and January we opposed France dumping the Clemenceau warship, laden with hazardous waste, in India. After we boarded the ship twice and thousands of people emailed French President Chirac, he abandoned the plan to dump France's toxic waste in India.There was more good news for the forests when Brazil announced the protection of 6.4 million hectare (around 16 million acres) conservation area. This is a great victory for the people of the Amazon battling land grabbers, cattle ranchers and loggers. TAKE ACTION!
