The Anti-Violence Campaign for Peace is an ongoing project of the International Health & Epidemiology Research Center. It is a comprehensive violence prevention and intervention project striving to eliminate mortality and morbidity in children and youth by influencing their learned responses at an early age. The campaign educates about the hazards of guns, toy guns, toy weapons, violent video games and violence.

The campaign teaches children, parents, and educators about the hazards of guns, toy weapons, violent video games, and violence. This is accomplished in a variety of ways including presentations, workshops, letter writing campaigns aimed at influencing toy manufacturers and policy makers, petitions, billboards, public service announcements, media coverage, art exhibition such as the Replacing Violence with Art show Anti-Violence Day/Peace Day events. At these events, children turn in their toy guns and weapons, and instead, create a piece of art with the collected weapons.
