Increasing Female Participation in Peacekeeping Operations

  • Jamille Bigio, Rachel Vogelstein

Abstract

Women are routinely underrepresented in peacekeeping operations, even though their participation has been shown to improve mission effectiveness and advance stability. The U.S. government should support a UN premium for police- and troop-contributing countries to increase the training and deployment of female peacekeepers.
