Voices for Demilitarization — women and youth-led mainstream media for global disarmament.

Voices for Demilitarization

Women & Youth-Led Mainstream Media Campaigns for Global Disarmament

Public perception heavily shapes national security priorities and arms control legislation. To shift global narratives away from militarized solutions, IDA proposes a high-impact mainstream media initiative positioning women and youth at the center of peacebuilding narratives.

Grounded in the advocacy principles of UN Security Council Resolutions 1325 and 2250, the campaign amplifies evidence-based arguments for small arms control and the socioeconomic benefits of redirecting military spending toward human development.

Prepared for multilateral institutional donors, international broadcasting alliances, and peace philanthropies worldwide.
