Arms trafficking and gender violence in Mexico

The leading cause of death in Mexico is firearms. The flow of guns from the U.S. to Mexico has led to an increase in violence against women, both in the home and in public spaces. To analyze the role that U.S. gun laws play in Mexico’s homicide rates, Alianza Americas invites you to join our webinar, “Gun Trafficking and Gender Violence in Mexico” as part of a series of virtual panels on human rights.
