The French version of RESDAL’s dossier of the International Seminar “Uniformed Women and Peace Operations” is now available

The dossier with the main findings and discussions from the International Seminar “Uniformed Women and Peace Operations: Progress and Challenges in Creating Safe and Inclusive Environments”, held in October 2024 in Brasília, is now available in French. 

The seminar brought together 30 participants from 11 countries and 17 institutions, with an interregional scope that included Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, Asia, Africa, and the MENA region. Participants included representatives from the United Nations, ministries of defense, armed forces, embassies, prosecutors’ offices, civil society organizations, and academia. 

The dossier compiles presentations and conclusions from the panels, highlighting key topics such as:         

Continuous leadership training for the prevention of sexual harassment and abuse.


The need to align national policies with international standards.


Strengthening reporting and investigation mechanisms.


Creating networks and mentorship spaces to support the professional development of women in the armed forces and in peace operations.


This action is part of the project “Women in Peace Operations: Supporting Inclusive Environments through Interregional Collaboration and National Engagement”, supported by the Elsie Initiative of Global Affairs Canada. Launched in July 2023 and running until March 2026, the project seeks to promote safe and inclusive environments for women in the security forces of Global South countries that contribute troops and police to United Nations peace operations. 

This publication is particularly aimed at French-speaking communities in countries such as Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Senegal, the Central African Republic, Benin, Chad, Niger, Mali, Guinea, and Togo, as well as Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria.
