The @UNPeacekeeping Breaking Barriers, Building Peace campaign is highlighting the Canadian Armed Forces in their work toward identifying and removing barriers that may prevent women from contributing their full potential. #ServingForEquality #WomenPeaceSecurity @cpcc_ccpc

[…] the [Security] Council calls on Member States to implement reforms that remove legal and institutional barriers to women’s participation within security sectors and increase their representation at all levels. bit.ly/4f447F8

Special measures like recruitment quotas can be effective accompanied by wider measures to improve the long-term retention of women in defence. bit.ly/4f447F8 #WomenInDefenceReport #Servingforequality

Thank you for participating in the International Seminar “Uniformed Women and Peace Operations: Progress and Challenges in Creating Safe and Inclusive Environments” in Brasilia. #ElsieInitiative #WomenInPeacekeeping

"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." Read @UN Secretary-General's #WomenPeaceSecurity report: unwo.men/PflJ50TS1Ut

Women's equal participation in the defence sector is more urgent than ever, yet they still face significant barriers. The @UN first-ever report highlights key recommendations to address the issue. Learn more: bit.ly/4gC4R61 #ServingForEquality @CherylAPearce

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.
