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.

Appointing senior women to leadership helps strengthen the conditions for peace. @UN_CAR @UNPOL head C. Bizimungu advocates for more women in traditionally male-dominated roles, showing commitment to inclusion & building trust with communities in CAR🇨🇫. #WomenPeaceSecurity
