This lessons-learned compendium contains just a
sample – thus the title ‘Sampler’ – of the
observations, insights, and lessons related to
Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) available in
the SOLLIMS data repository. These lessons are
worth sharing with military commanders and their
staffs, as well as with civilian practitioners having a
peacekeeping or stability operations related mission
or function, such as those currently deployed on
stability operations, those planning to deploy, the
institutional Army, the Joint community, policy-
makers, and other international civilian and military
leaders at the national and theater level.

lesson. We welcome your input, and we encourage
