The Small Arms Survey is a research project based in Geneva, Switzerland that focuses on the global trade and impact of small arms and light weapons. It provides comprehensive data and analysis on issues related to firearms, including their proliferation, regulation, and the effects on security and development. Established in 2001, the survey aims to inform policymakers, researchers, and the public about the challenges posed by small arms. It publishes reports, databases, and other resources to enhance understanding of the dynamics surrounding gun violence, arms control, and disarmament efforts worldwide.
