U.N. expert says peace culture will grow if more women gain power

Date: April 21, 2003
Author: Kim Hoo-ran
QUOTE: [Ingeborg Breines], who has spent the majority of her 20 years with UNESCO at its Paris headquarters on the organization's women and a culture of peace program, argued for the mainstreaming of gender perspectives in order to achieve peace.

ABSTRACT: Islamabad UNESCO director Ingeborg Breines argued that any government that establishes few women as decision makers is by nature undemocratic. Arguing that more women in positions of power would bring about a more balanced government and promote peace, Breines contends that the women of North and South Korea should work together to restore peace on the Korean peninsula. --- Sara Holliday
