UN Peacekeeping has set a target of recruiting 15% women as military observers and staff officers by the end of 2019 and to reach a goal of 20% female police deployments by 2020. In Dec, 2018, about 8000 women were deployed in 14 peacekeeping missions across the world, more than half of them wearing military or police uniform. That’s less than 5 % of the total uniformed personnel in peacekeeping. Targets have been intro ploy women in at least 15 % of their military observer and staff officer positions. If this target isn’t reached, those positions can be offered to other troop and police contributing countries.
