Honored to represent @qazaqnuclear.bsky.social & #JASA in nomination by fellow co-founder @hellogera.bsky.social for the 1st #Youth4Disarmament Forum 🇺🇳 Thanks to #UNODA team & experts for insights on tech in nuclear weapons.

Spoke on Al-Qahera News 🇪🇬 about the critical implications of the escalating US-Israel-Iran conflict, the ongoing efforts by the #IAEA, and the broader geopolitical and security impacts on the #Caspian region. Proud to contribute as a Co-Founder of the JASA and @qazaqnuclear.bsky.social.

In February, @abolishnukesjp.bsky.social l invited our Co-Founders @hellogera.bsky.social & @yerdaulet.bsky.social to speak at "#Kazakhstan’s Nuclear Legacy and the #TPNW: A Path to a Nuclear-Free Future" session of the 1st Int’l Civil Society Forum in Tokyo.

ICYMI: The recording of our session on the Qazaq nuclear legacy at the Japanese Forum is now available! 🇯🇵

Today, we celebrate the renewal of the mandate of the WHO to study and report on the Effects of Nuclear War on Public Health We extend our deepest gratitude to the Marshall Islands, Samoa, and Vanuatu for their exceptional leadership, and to all supporting states.

Had the privilege to attend #NukeCon’s Young Professionals Track virtually this week. On #Chernobyl Disaster Remembrance Day, I’m reflecting on how nuclear legacies shape today’s debates – especially as #CentralAsia weighs nuclear power. Building trust means real engagement from #AffectedCommunities

From #Youth4CTBT to @ctbto.bsky.social Research Fellowship: proud to contribute to a new collection of policy papers on nuclear test legacies I joined the #CYG in spring 2021. After applying for the prestigious program, facing initial rejection, I reapplied and was privileged to join it.

Japanese-speaking friends, check out the article about Qazaq and Japanese #Hibakusha-s, our policy and action-oriented recommendations on the #TPNW, and further steps 👇🏼

Back in 2023, we couldn't attend the #CampaignerForum, thus, it was important to (re-)connect with everyone before this year's #NuclearBanWeek. @hellogera.bsky.social / @indiraweaver.bsky.social / Adiya Akhmer / Zhibek Toktash / Alisher Khassengaliyev / Medet Suleimen / Maira Abenova

#Young people are not tokens for performative inclusion and should be meaningfully engaged in the decision-making within the #NuclearBan framework and its International Trust Fund. This is one of many policy and action-oriented recommendations in our #WorkingPaper for the #3MSP to the #TPNW.
