In our sixth webinar, “Women Implementing Disarmament in Latin America and the Caribbean”,
co-organized with the United Nations Regional Centre for Peace, Disarmament and Development
in Latin America and the Caribbean, UNLIREC, we will discuss the role of women implementing
disarmament through multilateral treaties, diplomatic efforts with a particular focus on the
proliferation of conventional weapons, especially Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW).
This webinar seeks to highlight women’s achievements and experiences in implementing
disarmament in Latin America and the Caribbean by providing a platform for the voices of key
women figures leading disarmament efforts. Discourses to be covered include the participation of
women in negotiating treaties, advocating for governmental and diplomatic efforts to progress the
implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which aims at reducing illicit trade of weapons.
We hope that the webinar will shed light on structural and practical challenges women have faced
in their efforts and experiences.
