    Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces Release Elsie Initiative Barrier Assessment Identifying Barriers for Women in UN Peace Operations

    August 31, 2022 - Ottawa, Ontario - Department of National Defence Today, the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) released the Elsie Initiative Barrier Assessment report identifying barriers and opportunities for improving women's participation in United Nations (UN) peace operations. The Government of Canada launched the Elsie Initiative - a multilateral pilot project that develops and tests approaches to help countries overcome barriers to the meaningful participation of uniformed women in UN peace operations – in 2017, and has since played a leading role in its development. In December 2021, Minister of National Defence, Anita Anand, announced the initiative's extension. In 2019 Canada announced that the CAF would undergo the Measuring Opportunities for Women in Peace Operations (MOWIP) barrier assessment methodology in order to better understand the challenges facing women in the CAF in deploying to UN peace operations, and how the CAF can increase opportunities for Canadian women in such deployments. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/news/2022/08/department-of-national-defence-and-canadian-armed-forces-release-elsie-initiative-barrier-assessment-identifying-barriers-for-women-in-un-peace-ope.html
