The #UN 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is a good reminder for #ATT member states to fill in the questionnaire included in the #CSP9 working paper on a good practice guide for preventing GBV. Find it here: https://t.co/2jLCLAd8VH

Breaking: A Global Framework for Through-life Conventional Ammunition Management has been adopted without a vote!

If small arms & light weapons are the fire we fight today, ammunition is the oxygen that fuels it. It is what turns guns from inoperative items into lethal weapons

Our new #smallarmsblog post, the 2nd post in a 3-part series, calls for improved connectivity between different state databases on gender-based violence #GBV in #Argentina, and measures to prevent possible offenders from accessing firearms #ArmsTreaty

Why aren't there more women in ammunition management? Here's a recap of what the pros had to say, with opening remarks from 🇨🇷 Amb @MaritzaChanV and closing remarks from 🇦🇹 DPR Hans Almoslechner @AustriaUN. https://t.co/vgex5U4Vy3

Thanks to 🇮🇳Preeti, 🇨🇴Lina, 🇱🇨Shena and 🇨🇦Sherry for providing real-world insights on what supporting women's meaningful participation in ammo mngt actually means. As 🇨🇷 @MaritzaChanV said, we'll hear, we'll learn and now we'll act. Great that 🇦🇹 will support women's ATO network.

The role of civil society, especially women's organisations who have expertise on #GBV, is essential to ensure that GBV is addressed in small arms control policies. They can provide relevant evidence on how firearms are used to commit GBV, including domestic violence. #16Days

This year, the #UNSC is discussing the important role of #WPS actors in creating peace in areas affected by armed groups. We agree that "more tenacious teamwork" is needed.

It was a pleasure participating in today's #CSP8 side event on #gender, conventional weapons and the #ArmsTreaty.

We look forward to more discussions on the gendered impacts of conventional weapons and ensuring gender-related matters are considered when implementing the ATT.

So kind of @phoebe_bridgers to drop by Montreux for the 40th bd my bf Stefano (aka world's biggest fan). If you need an extra bassist, he's your man!

We’ve updated our global violent deaths (#GVD) database to allow for the analysis of disaggregated data for female victims of firearm killings. This can help facilitate evidence-based policymaking.

#Firearms are not only used to wound or kill, but also to threaten, coerce, and perpetrate other forms of assault and abuse in situations of gender-based violence (#GBV), including domestic violence.

‘Gender-neutral’ or ‘gender-blind’ small arms programming, which ignores or fails to take gender into account, may passively reproduce or actively exacerbate underlying harmful gender dynamics that underpin armed violence.

Considering the gendered dimensions of the life-cycle management of ammunition (#LCMA) throughout all its phases is key to mitigating the gendered impacts (incl. #GBV) of the misuse and diversion of ammunition.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

A majority of people who die violently are men and boys but when it comes to homicides related to intimate-partner violence, women and girls are the primary victims.
