Action on Armed Violence

Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) is a London-based NGO focused on reducing armed violence worldwide. Founded as a charity, AOAV specializes in research, advocacy, and fieldwork to address the causes and effects of weapon-based violence, particularly involving explosive weapons. The organization aims to protect civilians in conflict zones and operates at various levels, from local to global. AOAV maintains the Explosive Violence Monitor, a comprehensive database tracking casualties from explosive weapons since 2010. This data is widely referenced by media outlets and institutions, including the UN and Human Rights Watch. The organization advocates for policy changes by presenting its findings to international forums and investigating the long-term impacts of explosive violence in regions like Syria and Ukraine. AOAV also publishes reports and case studies that analyze armed violence trends and conducts public awareness campaigns to highlight issues related to arms exports and civilian safety.
