In the context of the new security paradigm, the vision upon the globalarchitecture of risks and vulnerabilities imposes the adoption of punctual and equally robustmeasures in order to counteract any emergent risks that lay an immense pressure upongeneral safety and progress.In essence, international security organizations subscribe that gender diversitymay be a strength trait in favour of societal reconciliation and rehabilitation, by utilizing themilitary component as a cardinal vector in putting UNSCR 1325 “Women, Peace and Security”objectives into practice.
