Extract:

As far as military operations are concerned, a study by Sweden, Norway, Finland and the Netherlands on the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) in the provincial reconstruction teams in Afghanistan showed, among other things, that the effectiveness of the International Security Assistance Force in cooperating with, and winning the trust of, the Afghan population is improved if the armed forces of troop-contributing nations include more women. Incorporating more women into armed forces is an important element of a coherent and comprehensive approach to the issue that we are discussing today. A seminar being organized by Spain and the Netherlands, to take place on 13 and 14 October in Madrid, will focus on how to make progress in that respect.
