"I am proud that the European Parliament has taken up the issue of women, peace and security, as peoples’ mentalities simply have to change. It was therefore only natural for me to support this resolution which aims to enable women to participate in full in peace negotiations and proposes to create a Special EU Representative on Women, Peace and Security. This report makes us aware that women are not only victims in the case of conflicts. They can also sometimes be key actors in peace processes. ‘Women in the military who patrol on an equal footing with men send a strong image to local women’, explained the rapporteur Norica Nicolai. It rightly considers that ‘the inclusion of more women in the prevention, mediation and resolution of conflicts’ is essential. From a gender equality perspective, more women should be included in the military, both in leadership positions and at ground level, and it is crucial to have high-ranking women officials."@en1
