DISARMAMENT

DISARMAMENT

Effective since June 2015, this cross-cutting programme aims to contribute to a world where the use of force is reduced, and where less investment is made in armaments and more in peace (health, education, etc.), as indicated by its flagship slogan: "Move the money from war to peace".Through its "Disarmament" program, WILPF Cameroon popularizes treaties on the circulation and trade of arms and ensures respect for the gender dimension in the implementation of the various treaties related to them.

  • Putting an end to "lethal autonomous weapons" (killer robots) and nuclear weapons: WILPF Cameroon's action is to mobilize and get African states to take measures to prohibit the use of weapons of mass destruction. The actions are also aimed at ensuring that there is always human control over robots and getting governments to invest in development robots and not killer robots or robots designed to wage war.
  • Gender and disarmament: Its main activities are the popularization of arms trade treaties and the monitoring of the gender dimension in the implementation of the various arms trade treaties.
