Disarm Domestic Violence

Perhaps most shockingly, the greatest risk of gun violence to women around the world is not on the streets, or the battlefield, but in their own homes. Women are three times more likely to die violently if there is a gun in the house.This is why IANSA has launched a campaign to demand policies which would keep women safe from gun violence.

The main goal of this campaign is to ensure that anyone with a history of domestic abuse is denied access to a firearm, and has their license revoked

This is the first international campaign to protect women from gun violence in at home.
