This video is one of the several resources available in WILPF's Toolkit on Weapons, War and Women in the MENA Region. It serves to analyse the flow of arms into countries in conflict, particularly Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen, and underscore how they impact the lives of civilians and women disproportionately.
Although many other resources highlight the impact that arms transfers have on civilians during conflict, this video gives particular emphasis on the gendered dimensions of arms transfer that regularly goes unnoticed. In that sense, the toolkit seeks to highlight how arms transfers to governments and other armed actors in the region can be linked to gender-based violence and inflict disproportionate effects on women.
