10 jan ALL TIME HIGH MEDIA COVERAGE 2017
The Forum is very pleased to observe that the media coverage on activities of the Forum and its members reached an all- time high in 2017! On nearly 40 occasions the work of the Forum and its members was acknowledged on a wide variety of platforms globally, for example in connection to the Forum’s regional seminar in Senegal on the Arms Trade Treaty and the regional seminar in Panama.
Raising public awareness about the negative impact of uncontrolled proliferation of illicit Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) on societies is a key priority of the Forum, as well as an important component of parliamentary work. Increased awareness is one important step towards preventing and reducing armed violence for the promotion of more peaceful and sustainably developed societies.
