Evidence, partnership and public-health action
We call on the World Health Organization to use its proven leadership and global mandate to strengthen the public health response to firearm violence
Who we are
A global movement to prevent firearm harm through the power of public health.
We bring together health professionals, researchers, survivor-led organisations, and community networks from every region in the world. Together, we call on the World Health Organization to use its proven leadership and global mandate to strengthen the public health response to firearm violence – just as it has done with tobacco, road safety, and other leading causes of injury and death.
