The arms trade fuels conflict and human rights abuse. The CAAT Universities Network exists to help students and staff in higher education to campaign to break the links between universities and the arms trade.

Protesting the arms trade on campus can take many forms; disruption at careers events, passing Student Union motions, lobbying your University Careers Service, writing in your student paper, and more.
There is an exciting movement of anti arms-trade activism across UK universities and we hope you will join us!
