During this year’s Global Week of Action against Gun Violence, IANSA women in Cameroon, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, South Africa, Uganda held 1 day women-only trainings on gender and an ATT using training materials developed by IANSA and SweFOR.
Africa: Women build capacity on the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT)
The IANSA Women's Network secured funding from Oxfam GB on behalf of the members involved, and a consolidated report of all of the trainings is attached to this message.
The trainings involved government officials, parliamentarians and civil society to strengthen work for an ATT that reinforces UN Security Resolutions 1325, 1820, 1888, and 1889, and States’ obligations under international human rights and international humanitarian law.
IANSA continues to work with members to identify funding opportunities and further develop and share training materials, and is committed to building capacity amongst its members and allies as the ATT process goes forward.
