Philemon Yang, and the President of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Economic and Social Council, H.E. Bob Rae, in collaboration with the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Office for Disarmament Affairs, will convene a meeting on Monday, 17 March 2025, at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Headquarters in New York.<\/p>\n<p>This joint meeting entitled \u201c<strong>Small arms and light weapons control for preventing violence and advancing sustainable development\u201d <\/strong>will be an opportunity to engage with all relevant stakeholders to discuss how small arms and light weapons control can become a part of policies on development, violence prevention and human rights protection.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, violence linked to small arms and light weapons cost the global economy $22.6 billion which exceeded Official Development Assistance (ODA) for education, which was $14.4 billion and for health which was $21.8\u00a0billion.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, women and girls continue to disproportionately bear the brunt of the impact of the use of small arms and light weapons. \u00a0It is estimated that between 70 and 90 per cent of incidents of conflict-related sexual violence involve small arms and light weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Discussions will focus on the impacts of illicit small arms and light weapons in Africa, the integration of small arms and light weapons control into national development strategies within the Latin America and the Caribbean region, armed violence reduction in other regions, youth perspectives on the challenges posed by small arms control and the gender dimensions of small arms and light weapons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What:<\/strong> Joint meeting on Small arms and light weapons
