🚨 Big news! 🇸🇱 Sierra Leone’s Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces + UN Women Sierra Leone have secured #ElsieFund support to boost women’s participation in UN Peacekeeping ops!🕊️ A major step toward gender equality in peace operations. #WomenPeaceSecurity #1325at25 SierraLeone@UN UN Women Africa


Uniformed women in 🇸🇱 Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces face barriers to peacekeeping deployment like: 🚧limited training 🚧few leadership roles 🚧 gaps in support structures. The new #ElsieFund project alongside UN Women Sierra Leone will change that.🚀 More women, stronger missions. #InclusivePeacekeeping


From policy reform to improved training & healthcare, 🇸🇱 Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces's innovative project will help prepare more women for @UNpeacekeeping missions.💪✨ A game-changer for gender parity in the security sector! #WomenPeaceSecurity #1325at25 SierraLeone@UN UN Women Africa


Just 13% of 🇸🇱Sierra Leone’s uniformed personnel are women. The goal is clear: more women in UN Peacekeeping. 🚀A new partnership with Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces UN Women Sierra Leone will break barriers & build a more inclusive, gender-responsive force. #WomenPeaceSecurity SierraLeone@UN UN Women Africa


The United Nation's Senior Women Talent Pipeline, SWTP is driving progress on women’s inclusion by advancing women into decision-making roles across field missions. ☑️14 senior selections in 1 year ☑️50+ new members from 40+ countries ☑️Expanded #genderparity operational support. 👉 un.org/gender/content…



In 2024 #EIF supported partners to train & roster 400+ women ready for deployment to UN Peacekeeping ops. Developing a pipeline of talent will ensure more #UniformedWomen can contribute to #Inclusivepeacekeeping approaches on the global stage. Global Affairs Canada UK at the UN 🇬🇧🇺🇳


🇸🇳Senegal and 🇿🇲Zambia have made significant progress in expanding the pool of uniformed women eligible to deploy to UN Peacekeeping ops in 2024. National rosters enable institutions to track and develop their talent pipeline. #WomenPeaceSecurity #InclusivePeacekeeping


In 2024, 540 personnel (109 women,431 men) were trained on gender issues + preventing sexual exploitation and abuse ahead of deployment. Stronger capacity of personnel leads to better UN Peacekeeping for the communities they serve. Another #ElsieFund result. #WPS
