Why are so few women?
In early 2004, abuses by peacekeepers in the UN mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo made international headlines. However, a recent report by Refugee International revealed similar findings in Liberia and Haiti. A new study has also found that out of the 61 senior UN peace negotiators, only 4 of them are women.
Can bringing more women to all levels of the UN peacekeeping operations make a difference to its damaged reputation?
Dame Margaret Anstee, the first woman peace negotiator for the UN and Professor Joanna Bourke from Birkbeck College, University of London join Jenni for the discussion.
