GENSAC Network – Gender Equality Network for Small Arms Control

Gender Responsive Small Arms Control

Halving levels of violence and building peaceful societies in this decade is possible. Controlling guns, engaging women, and advancing gender-proofed solutions is the key.

For too long women peacebuilders, activists, community-leaders, policy-makers, members of the security and defense forces, have been doing “arms control behind the curtain.” It’s time to change and harness the leadership of women leaders and allies for small arms control, conflict prevention, violence reduction, and sustainable development.
