"Rebecca Peters" served as Director of the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) from 2002 to 2010. She was still listed on the IANSA board of directors as of April 2012.

As chair of the (Australian) National Coalition for Gun Control at the time of the Port Arthur massacre (Australia)/Port Arthur massacre in 1996, Peters played a key role in the introduction of stricter Gun politics in Australia/gun control in Australia, an area in which she remains active today.

The Umut Foundation says:

Peters received the 1996 Human Rights Medal (Australia)/Australian Human Rights Medal, for "her contribution to researching, educating and lobbying for gun law reforms in Australia".

Prior to her work with IANSA, Peters worked for the Open Society Institute, a private foundation funded by George Soros.

She has been criticized the National Rifle Association in the United States, which said that Peters "is the voice and face of hatred of gun owners and Second Amendment freedoms."
