Including Women in Security Missions Prevents Violence, Boosts Intel, Report Finds

Women serving in tactical peacekeeping and security operations often work better with the civilian populations they're charged with protecting because of cultural norms, according to a report released this month.

The report pointed to several areas where having women involved in decision-making and mission execution yielded better results, according to the authors. Those included preventing violence.

"It's really to help commanders, the people making decisions, understand how gender factors might come into play and may impact operations," said co-author of the report Joslyn Fleming, a researcher at the think tank Rand Corp.
 
That includes situations where local women may not be able to speak freely to men or when men are around, a common occurrence during U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Just think how bad it could have been in the Afghanistan debacle if there hadn't been women around? *****rollingeyes*****

Is there scientific data demonstrating that suicide bombers are less likely to target sites guarded by female soldiers?
