The article addresses the hitherto underreported issue of pregnant women in Hiroshima who were exposed to radiation during the 1945 atomic bombing and the neglect they face from society. These women - silent victims of nuclear warfare - are grappling not only with physical health concerns but also the emotional trauma of insensitivity from their surroundings. The need for societal empathy and understanding towards these victims wrestling with the fallout of a tragedy that happened over seven decades ago is underscored.

In Japan, the memories of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings are still fresh. While the society acknowledges and supports survivors' hardships, the plight of those indirectly affected, such as pregnant women during the bombings, is often ignored. The insult added to their injury by insensitive societal remarks reflects a gap in understanding and empathy that needs addressing.

In comparison, the U.S and EU often have structures in place for supporting victims of tragedies or disasters, including counseling and psychological support. A more comprehensive understanding of the ripple effects of such incidents is also adopted. However, indirect victims in these regions also face struggles with social expectations and understanding.
