Directions: Read the following passage and answer the given questions:

The United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) is a peacekeeping mission established by the United Nations in 2011 to maintain security and stability in the Abyei region, which is located between Sudan and South Sudan.  The mandate of UNISFA includes tasks such as protecting civilians, monitoring and verifying the withdrawal of armed elements, and facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance. For the purpose of preventing and resolving conflicts, UNISFA also collaborates with local authorities, community leaders, and civil society organisations. India is deploying an all-women's platoon of peacekeepers as part of our battalion to the UN Mission in Abyei UNISFA. This deployment is part of the mission's goal to increase the number of female peacekeepers in its missions around the world. It's also notable that the Indian battalion is being deployed to the UN Mission in Abyei, which is an area with a complex history of conflict and political disputes, and the role of women peacekeepers can be vital to promote peace and stability there. The team will provide relief and assistance to women and children in one of the most challenging terrain conditions under the UN flag. Women peacekeepers are highly regarded in peacekeeping missions throughout the world for their ability to reach out and connect with women and children in local populations, especially victims of sexual violence in conflict zones. 

The participation of women in peacekeeping operations is important for a number of reasons. Women bring a unique perspective to conflict resolution and peacebuilding efforts, and their inclusion can lead to more comprehensive and effective solutions. Research has also shown that peacekeeping missions that have a higher percentage of women are more likely to be perceived as legitimate by local populations, which can help to improve the effectiveness of the mission. In addition, the involvement of women in peacekeeping can also serve as a powerful symbol of the commitment to gender equality and can help to challenge stereotypes and traditional gender roles. Finally, the inclusion of women in peacekeeping missions can also be a key factor in building sustainable peace.
