IANSA’s theme for the Global Week of Action 2024 was “A World without Gun Violence: Turning Words into Actions,” it envisioned a future where gun violence is no longer a threat to communities worldwide. It called for global solidarity, State commitment, and concrete actions to achieve disarmament, promote peacebuilding, and ensure the safety of all individuals. The GWoA emphasises the need for all stakeholders to work together to achieve tangible outcomes and taking meaningful steps forward for a world without gun violence.
As part of IANSA’s project with the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) through contributions received from the European Union: “From the Bottom Up: Civil Society Engagement and Support for the UN Programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons“, small stipends were given to IANSA members to undertake activities during the Global Week of Action.
This report highlights campaign activities organised by IANSA members and includes members’ engagement with community leaders, authority officials, and government officials to gain support for measures to reduce armed violence and implement strict firearms controls. It also includes an overview of social media participation online from members and supporters from all regions around the globe.
