The National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), has launched the "Silence the Gun to Save a Life" campaign.
The initiative, announced at a press briefing in Accra on October 16, 2024, aims to curb the proliferation of small arms in Ghana and promote peace and security across communities.
Mr.
Samuel Williams Yeboah, Executive Secretary of the Commission, highlighted the significant threat posed by the availability of small arms, particularly their impact on vulnerable groups such as women, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
