[…] 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.

[UN support to SSR&G @UN_SSR]

Special measures like recruitment quotas can be effective accompanied by wider measures to improve the long-term retention of women in defence.

"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."

[UN Peacekeeping @UNPeacekeeping]

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.
