The Regional Guidelines for the Prevention of Gender-Based Violence Committed with the Use of Firearms offer a series of recommendations for the OAS Members States to prevent gender-based violence with the use of firearms, based on the review of existing literature at the global, inter-American and/or subregional levels developed in recent years, and interviews with key actors.

The Guidelines were approved by the Consultative Committee of the Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other Related Materials (CIFTA), at their twenty fourth regular meeting, on May 23, 2024.
