Violence Against Women: The Lethal Consequences of Arms

Women who speak out for their rights in militarized
and patriarchal societies face high level of threats
and violence. This event will open your eyes to the role
of arms. Arms increases the risk of lethal violence against
women and facilitate sexual and gender based violence.
Learn about how women’s organisations use resolution
1325 to make the link between violence against women,
insufficient arms control, and women’s economic and
political rights.

Speakers:
Joy Onyesoh WILPF Nigeria;
Annie Matundu WILPF DRC,
