17 jun UPCOMING INTERNATIONAL SIDE EVENT AT REVCON4!
This Thursday, the 20th June, the Parlimentary Form on Small Arms and Light Weapons (PFSALW), in collaboration with the Gender Equality Network for Small Arms Control (GENSAC) and the Government of Chile, will be hosting an international side event at the Fourth United Nations Conference to Review Progress Made in the Implementation of the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in all its Aspects (RevCon4).
The event will feature an engaging discussion with elected members of parliament from Latin America and East Africa, along with representatives of member state governments and civil society. Discussions will highlight conclusions from regional seminars and workshops in Asia, Latin America, and East Africa, and thus enhance parliamentary engagement on the aforementioned instruments, with a specific emphasis on the involvement of women members of parliament (MPs) and incorporation of gender in SALW measures, as well as related civil society engagement with and support of parliamentary actions. In doing so, it will explore legislative and policy approaches to address gender and SALW control.
