In a campaign or advocating, an individual or a small group can achieve a great success by working in collaboration with others even when they are unable to achieve the goal separately. JVC forms a network by themes or activity areas in cooperation with other NGOs and individuals.

Summary of activities

1) Japan Campaign to Ban Landmines (JCBL)

We support activities to clear land mines and rehabilitation assistance to victims in addition to the mine risk education from a humanitarian standpoint.
