Anti-Firearms Week

On June 18, 2009, the Victimology Society of Serbia organized a press conference in Belgrade marking the international campaign Week of Combating Violence Using Firearms. Presenter were:

1. Mirjana Dokmanović: Less weapons in the home – less violence in the home

This is the first international campaign that aims to protect women from violence in their own homes, by using firearms. The main goal of the campaign is to prohibit the possession of firearms, to people who were previously reported for domestic violence. We consider that partners and spouses should be consulted before granting licenses to carry weapons and that this is one of the basic measures to protect women.
Between June 15 and 21, 2009, the campaign was supported by 85 countries around the world in order to raise public awareness of the importance of reducing the use of firearms. The Victimology Society of Serbia is a member of the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA). IANSA is a network of 800 organizations, NGOs working in 100 countries to stop the spread and abuse of small arms and light weapons. More information can be found on the website www.iansa.org
