Global Week of Action
15 - 21 June is the Global Week of Action Against Gun Violence. Activists around the world will use this to raise awareness, campaign for better gun laws and push for stronger regulation of the global arms trade.
Last year, IANSA members in 85 countries highlighted the human cost of small arms proliferation and misuse; they also demanded that governments enact policies that put their citizens' security first.
