    The Impact of Women Peacekeepers on Public Support for Peacekeeping in Troop-Contributing Countries

    There are several common assumptions about how women peacekeepers may impact public opinion in the countries from which they deploy.

Until now, there has been little research specifically focused on this sexual abuse […]
