The Impact of Guns in Women's Lives, Paperback / softback Book

The Impact of Guns in Women's Lives Paperback / softback

Part of the Oxfam Campaign Reports series

Paperback / softback

Description

This report is part of a series produced by Amnesty International, Oxfam, and IANSA (International Action Network on Small Arms), for the Control Arms Campaign.

There are estimated to be nearly 650 million small arms in the world today.

Nearly 60 per cent of them are in the hands of private individuals - most of them men. And the vast majority of those who make, sell, buy, own, use or misuse small arms are men.

What does this mean for the world's women and girls?

This report looks at the impact on women of guns in the home, in communities and during and after conflict.

In each of these contexts, it looks at violence committed with guns against women, the role women play in gun use, and the campaigns women are spearheading against gun violence.
