The EU works closely with the United Nations and civil society to boost women's participation in peace and security. Inspired by the UN example, EU delegations and missions organised 'Open Door' days to mark this 10th anniversary and to meet with local women's groups. Last week, the EU and the African Union organised a seminar in Addis Ababa bringing ED civil society representatives to discuss these issues with African representatives and to make recommendations for joint AU-EU actions.
