Replying to @UN_Disarmament @MFA_Austria @theGICHD @odaunrec
Effective small arms control is inclusive of civil society. Local NGOs connect global commitments with local realities.  Through @eu_eeas, UNODA partners with @IANSAnetwork to prevent armed violence and build safer communities. #DisarmamentWeek

🇱🇾 ليبيا | عندما تبقى الأسلحة، يستمر أثر العنف. انتهاء القتال لا يعني انتهاء آثاره. فانتشار الأسلحة وخروجها عن السيطرة الفعالة قد يكرّس الخوف ويزيد مخاطر العنف على النساء والمجتمعات. حماية النساء تبدأ بإشراكهن بفاعلية في قرارات السلام والأمن وضبط الأسلحة. #من_أجل_سلامها_وصحتها
