want to ask you a couple of questions that are near and dear to i know both mine congresswoman lee, and ms. granger, and that is the way that women are treated and the potential for exploitation and what we're doing about it in u.n. peace keeping missions and in u.n. funded operations. but i also want to ask you about the notion of training women peace keepers. i know we know that the challenge in having more women peace keepers at the u.n., there are not a lot of women in military and police roles. so as a result, you know, there's a very small pipeline. i recently learned about a special training program that is for female military officers. it was first of its kind initiative, u.n. women in india in partnership with the center for the united nations peace keeping. developed and conducted a special technical course for female military officers. and it was in new delhi. and apparently, there were officers from 24 troop contributing countries that participated in the course. and it essentially is going to sort of build our bench. obviously, it is important to have in circumstances a woman
