Activism
In addition to WILPF Sections' national and local work to challenge the arms trade, Reaching Critical Will also participates in and supports local initiatives to raise awareness about the devastating impacts of the arms trade and hold governments to account. We are also active supporters of the 16 days of activism against gender violence campaign, held each year, where we highlight the link between arms proliferation, militarism, and gender-based violence, see for examples of our engagement: 2020; 2019; 2016; 2013; 2011. We are also working to hold governments espousing a “feminist foreign policy” to account, and to help those interested in developing such policies to do so in a truly feminist way, including stopping arms exports.
