PARTICIPATION IN PEACEKEEPING MISSIONS BY SENIOR FEMALE PERSONNEL

The present Professional Research Paper (PPT) deals with the study of the Participation in Peace Missions of the Senior Female Personnel (FSP) of the National Navy. The research approach carried out is a mixed approach with a quantitative preponderance, involving a process of collection, analysis and linkage of quantitative and qualitative data. Among the most relevant findings of the research, it was found that the follow-up of an institutional strategy on Peace Missions, with emphasis on Female Senior Staff, will result in greater efficiency and effectiveness in the management of impediments and incentives for their participation. At the same time, it will increase the availability of Senior Female Personnel of the National Navy to occupy positions in Peace Missions in compliance with the requirements of the Agenda: Women, Peace and Security of the United Nations (UN). Finally, it is essential to assert that the role of gender does not have to be assumed only by women, but cannot be achieved without an equal participation of men and women within the Institution.
