Survivor Corps is a global network of survivors helping survivors to overcome war and rebuild their communities. In 2008, Survivor Corps grew from Landmine Survivors Network.

The Convention on Cluster Munitions entered into force on December 3, 2008 to end the use of cluster bombs due to the indiscriminate harm they cause to civilians. As a leader on the steering committee of the Cluster Munitions Coalition, we used our past experience with the Mine Ban Treaty to help ensure that the Convention on Cluster Munitions included the strongest possible requirements to provide assistance to victims of the weapon, their families and communities. more
