Over 60 states and territories are contaminated by landmines, cluster munitions, unexploded and abandoned explosive ordnance. Many regions also face risks of accidental explosions and illicit diversion from poorly managed ammunition stockpiles. The use of antipersonnel mines has caused widespread contamination globally.
Join us as we reignite our #TogetherAgainstMines campaign across social media channels throughout the month of April. We firmly believe that by working together, we can achieve remarkable progress in the mine action sector. That's why we're inviting individuals and organisations like yours to participate and share your stories of togetherness with us.
