The Impact of Guns on Women's LivesCountless women and girls have been shot and killed or injured in every region of the world. Millions more live in fear of armed violence. Two key factors lie at the heart of these abuses: the proliferation and misuse of small arms and deep-rooted discrimination against women.Armed violence against women is not inevitable. In many countries women have become powerful forces for peace and human rights in their communities. Their actions show how real change can be effected and women's lives made safer. Each of us can help put an end to armed violence by joining the international campaigns to Stop Violence Against Women and to Control Arms.
