First All-Woman Team of Peacekeepers set to deploy
After all the problems there have been with U.N. Peacekeepers being accused of sexual assault, the idea of an all-woman team of peacekeepers sounds like a worthy concept. The U.N. will soon send it’s first such team, made up of 105 Indian policewomen to Liberia.
In an article in USA Today, Seema Dhundia, a unit commander said,
“Women police are seen to be much less threatening, although they can be just as tough as men. But in a conflict situation, they are more approachable and it makes women and children feel safer,”
Sounds like a concept that’s time has come.
