Every year, throughout the world, roughly half a million men, women, and children are killed by armed violence – that’s one person every minute.
The lack of control of the arms trade is fuelling conflict, poverty, and human rights abuses – worldwide. Every government is responsible.
It doesnÂ’t have to be like this. Oxfam, Amnesty International, and a group of more than 500 NGOs in the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) are calling for a global Arms Trade Treaty to bring the trade in weapons under control and for local action to protect civilians from armed violence.
Join us and demand tougher arms controls today.
We wonÂ’t achieve anything without you. We need you to join the Control Arms campaign here. Today.
