This has been the most successful Week of Action yet, with more than 300 events in over 90 countries. The week included the successful launch of the Disarming Domestic Violence campaign, and strong global support for active participation in the Arms Trade Treaty.

IANSA director, Rebecca Peters said: “We’ve seen a wonderful series of activities this year, with organisations and individuals around the world demonstrating their commitment to stopping gun violence in their communities and in their countries. IANSA Network members insist that this problem can be prevented if governments and civil society work together.”

The Global Week of Action Against Gun Violence is the world's largest coordinated campaign against gun violence. It was held 15-21 June. Media coverage during the week has been extensive, with at least 350 mentions in national media outlets. Various UN agencies and governments have been involved, including UNICEF and UNDP country offices. Events this year have included rock concerts, rallies, memorials for victims and school visits.
