The Small Arms Survey 2014 considers the multiple roles of women in the context of armed violence, security, and the small arms agenda. The volume's thematic section comprises one chapter on violence against women and girls - with a focus on post-conflict Liberia and Nepal - and another on the recent convergence of the small arms agenda with that of women, peace and security. Complementing these chapters are illustrated testimonies of women with experience as soldiers, rebels and security personnel. The 'weapons and markets' section assesses the potential impact of the Arms Trade Treaty, presents the 2014 Transparency Barometer and an update on the authorised small arms trade, and analyses recent ammunition explosions in the Republic of the Congo. Additionally, it examines ammunition circulating in Africa and the Middle East, maps the sources of insurgent weapons in Sudan and South Sudan, and evaluates crime gun records in the United States.
‘In words and images, the Small Arms Survey 2014, with its usual analytical rigour, helps us understand the latest developments – and future possibilities – in arms control, peace, and security. I have no hesitation recommending it to all those interested in these vital topics.'
Angela Kane - United Nations High Representative for Disarmament Affairs

Zainab Hawa Bangura - Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict
