Women Peacekeepers Converge In Rwanda To Tell Their Story The “Women in Peacekeeping” panel, composed of female service
members who have served on U.N. Peacekeeping missions, will participate in the discussion to inform the public of the importance
of women in Peacekeeping Missions as peacekeepers. According to the U.N., while UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which
called for female participation in the peace building process, was passed in 2000, as of 2014, women comprised only 3 percent of
military personnel and 10 percent of police personnel engaged in UN Peacekeeping missions. “The number of women deployed in
peacekeeping remains too low,” said Head of U.N. Peacekeeping.

scenarios based on a U.N. mission for participants from troop-contributing nations participating in the exercises. PKSOI’s Lt Col
Marci Hodge is supporting Shared Accord in Rwanda.

further proof that al-Shabaab is one of the most tactically innovative militant groups operating today and prioritizes its intelligence
capabilities.
