“Our current picture is rather disheartening…women only constitute 746 military personnel and the male peacekeepers are 63,862; and in the case of the police, women only make up 314 of the personnel we have worldwide out of 7,408.”
Comfort Lamptey, Gender Adviser of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO)
