Zimbabwe has consistently been among the top providers of women peacekeepers by percentage in recent decades. In May this year Major Winnet Zharare, who served in South Sudan, was awarded the prestigious 2021 United Nations Military Gender Advocate of the Year Award with secretary general Secretary-General António Guterres describing her as a “role model and a trailblazer”. Presently, nearly two-thirds of the country’s police officers, military staff officers and experts on mission are women. Harare currently provides uniformed personnel to: > i). the United Nations in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA); > ii). the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO); > iii). the UN Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS); > iv). the UN Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA); > v). and the UN Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM). *More Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
