Answer these questions according to the theme Women, Peace and Security (WPS) in accordance with the principles of the United Nations. Below is an answer to the questions I asked chatgpt, so I urge you to do your own research, although chatgpt’s answers can serve as a guide. For example, the website ‘ASPI the strategist’ may have some articles that can help you answer the questions. I’m attaching a few, but there are more. It’s very important to take into account the gender perspective and more specifically the gender mainstreaming approach. Each answer should be between 400 and 500 words. The first question should have 600 words. There are nine questions. Thank you
