Before our campaign at Chiana SHS, almost all students had never heard of landmines or cluster munitions, and only a few knew anything about them. By the end, the students gained a strong understanding and were ready to share what they learned with their friends and communities.

Students at Chiana SHS didn’t just learn about landmines and cluster munitions, they explored ways to prevent their impact in Ghana. From raising awareness in their schools to educating their communities, they are taking action to create a safer future!

⌛️@BulletinAtomic Doomsday Clock is at 89 seconds to midnight, the closest it’s ever been. The threat of nuclear catastrophe is as urgent as ever, with nuclear-armed states' spending rising 34% in the last 5 years. But there’s hope: #NuclearBan. https://t.co/3UkMHIRBcQ

A decision to withdraw from MBT would align #Finland and #Lithuania with the same military values as Russia, Myanmar, North Korea, and Iran, the only countries whose armies actively use AP mines. Stay on the right side of history! https://t.co/Oohmf77fZD

Countries cannot disregard international humanitarian law without consequences. Anne Delorme & @erinlynnhunt warn against a world where "might makes right." Canada must lead in upholding humanitarian laws to protect civilians & ensure global compliance.
