Iguniflop: Firearm Free Zone Schools
Because of our work in helping communities declare public spaces as Gun Free Zones, GFSA won a tender from the South African Police Service to pilot Firearm Free Zones in 27 schools across the country. An independent evaluation found 70% of participants felt safer.

Our Gun Free Zone model has been incorporated into United Nations international guidelines, and we continue to work in some of the most gun violence-affected communities in Gauteng and the Western Cape, transforming spaces from restaurants and entertainment venues to early childhood development centres into Gun Free Zones.

Global Advocacy
We played a key role in lobbying the South African government to adopt the UN Programme of Action on Small Arms at crucial meetings in New York. We continue to engage actively in global initiatives, bringing South African realities to international forums while including legally binding protocols and global best practice into our domestic advocacy work.
