  conventional weapons

  to resolve conflicts
• Also to expose the many other forms of violence
  economic, physical, sexual, racial, religious,
  ecological, psychological, etc
• and to provide a way for all who suffer violence
  to be heard.

• Personal and social change towards a humanised
  world We must be the change we want to see in
  the World. M Gandhi)
• Awareness about a methodology of action coherent
  with its objective Non-violence is the force
  that will change the world. Silo

Why?

• Because we can end world hunger with 10 of what
  is spent on arms.
• Imagine how life would be if 30-50 of the arms
  budget went towards improving peoples lives
  instead of being used for destruction.
• Not to mention the real brain drain, all those
  brilliant minds today locked in the science for
  death, brought back to work for the real needs of
  the human being.
