Gender-responsive policing is crucial in countries like #SouthSudan 🇸🇸, where women are amongst the most vulnerable groups. To engage them, #UNMISS @UNPOL is conducting all-female patrols that don’t just show visibility but also foster trusting relationships between peacekeepers and South Sudanese women that effectively inform increased reporting and more immediate protection responses. #A4P #InvestInPeace
