Executive Summary
This paper examines the role women have played in traditionally male-dominated domains like peacekeeping. It uses examples including the United Nations Observer Mission to South Africa (UNOMSA) and the United Nations Organization Mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) to illustrate transformation opportunities that are available to men and women.
