Saferworld played a prominent role in the passing of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) ten years ago. Since then, we have worked with international organisations and national governments to ensure that countries are meeting their obligations under the treaty. Read how the Government of The Gambia – which adopted the ATT earlier this year – intends to develop their plans for full compliance. https://bit.ly/4gCaxMw

When women’s rights organisations have the freedom to set their own priorities and design their own initiatives, the impact on women and girls is transformative. As #16DaysOfActivism concludes, we are celebrating the remarkable work of grassroots organisations in #Nigeria, #SouthSudan and #Yemen. Flexible funding empowers these organisations to respond to the needs of their communities, driving sustainable change where it’s needed most. We all need to advocate for more support and resources to amplify their efforts. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3AgOYBL #GrassrootsLeadership #EndVAWG #womensrights

In #Yemen, Saferworld and partners support four hubs that bring together women from different walks of life, along with Yemeni organisations and communities for dialogue, decision-making & coordinated action. Two of these are women’s hubs that are addressing women’s specific challenges to participate in society, and advocate for the inclusion of women leaders in peace processes. The other two hubs bring together civil society organisations to foster dialogue, address conflict and enhance community security. Watch our new animation to find out how the hubs are building sustainable peace. 🎥 https://bit.ly/3OJ085S #WomensParticipation #WomensRights #WPS
