Removing the Trigger Campaign

This project is a collaborative initiative between Gun Free South Africa (GFSA), MOSAIC, the National Shelter Movement of South Africa (NSMSA), and the Cape Town office of the Heinrich Böll Foundation (HBF). The project seeks to generate evidence on the nature and extent of gun use in domestic violence, use this data to strengthen policy and practice - particularly around the effective removal of firearms from abusive situations - and raise broader public awareness of the issue. Overall it aims to strengthen the rights and safety of victims from gun-related domestic violence in South Africa.
