The UN Woman Police Officer of the Year Award…

This year marks the 12th time the UN Woman Police Officer of the Year Award will be awarded. It will be presented on 31 August 2022 on the margins of the UN Chiefs of Police Summit (UNCOPS) during an event hosted by the Police Division and co-sponsored by the Permanent Missions of Canada and Norway in Conference Room 1, United Nations Conference Building. 

Chief Warrant Officer Alizeta Kinda Kabore of the Burkina Faso National Police currently serves as a gender focal point with the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). Her efforts to promote and improve understanding of gender, child protection and human rights issues in Menaka have led to increased reporting of cases of sexual and gender-based violence to the Malian Security Forces.
