As part of its effort to combat the proliferation of illicit small arms and the rising trend of vigilantism, the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons collaborated with the National Commission for Civic Education to successfully conduct a series of sensitization programs at major tertiary institutions, including the Pantang Nursing and Midwifery Training College, Methodist University, IPMC, and Christian Heritage University.
The Commission engaged students, faculty, and key stakeholders in interactive sessions, emphasizing the dangers of illegal arms possession and the legal consequences of vigilante activities.
The campaigns attracted over 500 participants, all of whom benefited from expert presentations, multimedia case studies, and scenario-based demonstrations.
At Pantang Nursing and Midwifery Training College, the focus was on how healthcare professionals can advocate for peace and identify signs of weapon-related injuries and trauma.
