United Nations Department of Peace Operations The United Nations Department of Peace Operations (DPO) is dedicated to assisting the Member States and the Secretary-General in their efforts to maintain international peace and security, by providing political and executive direction to UN peacekeeping operations around the world and maintaining contact with the Security Council, troop and financial contributors, and parties to the conflict in the implementation of Security Council mandates.
Through the lens of local women photographers, we seek to elevate, amplify and increase the visibility of women’s participation in—and their essential contributions to—peace and security.
