In March of 2023, the Tahitian anti-nuclear activist Hinamoeura Cross gave birth to her second child, putting an end to a two-year struggle with her oncologist who finally gave Hinamoeura medical consent so she could become pregnant again. Her baby is a healthy boy. Although her joy of bringing this baby into the world is immense, so was the fear of losing her child during a pregnancy interspersed by medical check-ups. Far from being an isolated case, it is perhaps the first time we hear such a story, made possible by the refusal to “stay silent.” Her outspokenness about her own struggles of speaking up about the shame she feels of being sick, and her long-time reluctance to speak about all the associated psychological trauma (including of calling herself a victim of nuclear tests) testifies to the vast array of specific diseases and consequences that have impacted women in French-occupied Polynesia, most of them still ashamed to speak about their struggles resulting from the impact of French nuclear testing on their bodies and their lives.
