Campaigns for Change
MAPW works to change policy, practice, and perception on key issues.

We work for the abolition of nuclear weapons. Our goal is for Australia to join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

Our Quit Nukes campaign works to increase the stigma around nuclear weapons, and stop financial flows to companies that produce them.

MAPW works to prevent the harms caused by nuclear power, and nuclear waste. We’re calling for an independent inquiry into nuclear waste production and disposal in Australia.
The world’s militaries combined emit over 5% of global GHG emissions – but are exempt from reporting and reductions targets.
War degrades the environment and leaves toxic legacies that cause untold harm to human health.
We advocate for demilitarised responses to climate change, and for rapid systemic change with justice.
We advocate for better education about the causes and costs of war. We’re asking the Australian War Memorial to adopt key principles to improve its offerings for children.
We work to end the Australian War Memorial’s partnerships with the weapons industry.
MAPW defends whistleblowers from persecution, and upholds the principle that society is served when wrongdoing is exposed and wrongdoers are held accountable.
We support efforts to investigate and prosecute alleged war crimes committed by any armed force, anywhere. We work with our partners to advocate for victims of war crimes.
We advocate for the lawful protection of civilians, healthcare workers, and healthcare facilities in the ongoing war on Gaza.
MAPW opposes the trilateral AUKUS agreement. AUKUS is a threat to regional peace and stability, and diverts resources from human needs.
Australia has a longstanding moratorium on nuclear power, no nuclear industry, and no domestic regulatory expertise. Naval nuclear is a risk to human and environmental health.
We work to prevent the harms of the global arms trade, and to improve Australia’s arms export regime.
Our research shows a growing interference of weapons companies in Australian STEM education.
We show how the weapons industry has captured public institutions. Our Reclaim Remembrance campaign works to kick weapons companies out of the Australian War Memorial.
