Report calls for an integrated approach to prevent gender-based violence.

On 6 June, the international NGO and two-time Nobel Peace Prize winner, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), launched a report showing how effective implementation of arms control treaties can prevent gender-based violence (GBV).

The detailed report, authored by Rebecca Gerome, was launched inside the UN Headquarters in New York, where hundreds of diplomats and States were gathered to discuss how to prevent, combat and eradicate the illicit trade of small arms and light weapons.
