"For United Nations peacekeeping, women’s full involvement is a political & strategic imperative & is instrumental in achieving durable results in the host countries in which peacekeepers serve."

Women's equal participation in the defence sector is more urgent than ever, yet they still face significant barriers.

During the #WPS week, @ElsieFund contributed to global & regional discussions on #WomenPeaceSecurity, emphasising the importance of #uniformedwomen's meaningful participation in @UNPeacekeeping. We MUST address the barriers they face, incl. the need to prevent harassment & abuse.

Appointing senior women to leadership helps strengthen the conditions for peace.
@UN_CAR @UNPOL head C. Bizimungu advocates for more women in traditionally male-dominated roles, showing commitment to inclusion & building trust with communities in CAR🇨🇫.
