The United Nation's first all-female peacekeeping force — made up of 105 Indian policewomen — is set to deploy to the troubled west African country of Liberia, an official said Friday.Do you think women will do a better job of quelling peace, than men? I dunno...
The team, which has been training since September, leaves for Liberia on Sunday, said Abhishek Dayal, a spokesman for India's Central Reserve Police Force, which contributed the officers.
"They will initially stay there for six months and then it will depend on the U.N.," Dayal said.
There, they will likely be called on to train Liberia's national police, help conduct local elections or assist with prison security as the West African country struggles to recover from years of civil war.
My only real question is whether or not this deployment will increase or decrease the number of peacekeeper sex exploitation crimes committed by the UN...the eyes of the world should be watching this one...
