UNODC conducted a legislative analysis of 76 jurisdictions worldwide on firearms-related gender-based violence against women, the findings of which were presented at the plenary meeting of GREVIO in June 2025. The analysis examined how domestic legal frameworks address the intersection of firearms possession and gender-based violence, including domestic violence protection orders, firearms removal provisions and risk assessment mechanisms. The findings informed dialogue with GREVIO members on strengthening legislative responses to firearms-related GBV and will contribute to the forthcoming GREVIO General Recommendation on femicide.
