In that connection we wish to highlight the policies carried out by our Government in the defence sector. In recent years the Ministry of Defence — under the leadership of a woman, Dr. Nilda Garré — has undertaken a profound process of mainstreaming a gender perspective. That began by granting a voice to female members of our armed forces, which allowed us to diagnose their situation and led to reform that included the repeal of discriminatory resolutions in that sector. That process culminated with the National Plan for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) in the defence sector.
