This side event, organised by the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, will look at implementation of Article 7 of the ATT, especially as it relates to gender-based violence. We will present a recent report by WILPF's disarmament programme, Reaching Critical Will that provides tools and guidelines for effective implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty and UN Programme of Action on small arms and light weapons provisions related to gender-based violence, and we will present a case study reviewing some of Spain's recent arms sales. A similar study for Sweden will also be circulated. We hope that this event will provide States with the opportunity to pose questions in connection to their implementation of article 7(4).
