Appointed over 100 days ago, Mari Skåre is a Norwegian diplomat and the Alliance's first special representative focusing on the topic of women, peace and security. Her mandate is to reinforce and promote the implementation by NATO of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 and related resolutions.
"Through the adoption of these resolutions the Security Council recognizes that women are disproportionately affected by conflict and calls for women's active participation at all levels of decision-making in conflict and governance," explains Skåre.
She emphasizes that the resolutions are about gender equality which is not just a women's issue: "We will not succeed if men are not included in our struggle for gender equality."
