05 dec GET INVOLVED! SIGN OUR CALL FOR ACTION TO SUPPORT THE FORUM’S WORK FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT OF MORE PEACEFUL AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPED SOCIETIES
In a time when conflicts and armed violence is on the rise, global parliamentary action is more vital than ever to contribute to human security and sustainable development. Over one billion Small Arm and Light Weapons (SALW) are circulating worldwide according to Small Arms Survey, killing 575 men, women and children in the world every day.
The Forum is the only membership-based organisation gathering parliamentarians globally across party-political lines, specifically related to the reduction and prevention of SALW related violence to promote peace and sustainable development.
The Forum now encourages you to join our efforts to promote human security, peace and development in a time where organisations are facing difficulties and insecurities as a result of a more complex world along with shifting donor priorities.
Do you agree that:
- The decline in democracy combined with a rise in armed violence and conflict implies that parliamentarians need to act globally;
- The Forum is a highly relevant and useful organisation to support parliamentary work related to prevention and reduction of SALW-related armed violence, ultimately contributing to peaceful and sustainably developed societies;
- The donor community should invest in parliamentary organisations such as the Forum in order to achieve more peaceful and sustainable societies.
If you do, we kindly encourage you to sign our online Call for action no later than 31 of December, here: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/call-for-action-parliamentary-strengthening
Please support us in creating more peaceful societies! Kindly spread the word and share the link!
Thank you very much in advance!
