"Mr President, only limited progress has been made in the last few decades on the participation of women in public administration. In some cases, quotas have been adopted and the number of women in representative institutions has grown. Despite these efforts, however, the participation of women in peace talks, with some exceptions, remains below 10%. Women in the military nevertheless play an important role as role models and mediators of intercultural exchange, and are also an encouraging motivation for local women, breaking down the stereotypes of local men and communicating better with local women. In most countries, unfortunately, little importance is attached to gender equality and women’s rights because the gender issue is seen only as a minor issue, and cultural, religious and socio-economic customs are often taken as an excuse for hindering progress in this area. It is therefore necessary to emphasise the gender perspective early in the planning of civilian and security missions. The participation of women in the peace-building phase is extremely important."@en1
