SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2015, para. 108
- Paragraph text
- Changing attitudes towards guns is also a crucial prevention strategy. Promoting gun-free zones is an important community-led initiative which has helped to increase the sense of safety, reduce gunshots on the street and decrease the social acceptance of weapons. Pioneered in South Africa in the 1990s, that model has since been applied in Colombia, El Salvador, Sierra Leone and Solomon Islands.

- Arms trafficking thrives in areas where violence and organized crime are present and calls for comprehensive strategies aimed at stemming the flow of guns. Reducing the proliferation of guns requires national and international regulation, intervention by the police and the courts, public awareness and disarmament efforts. It also requires responsibility and accountability in the private sector, from gun manufacturers and sellers to private security companies, whose armed staff outnumber the police in some countries.
