The senior OSCE adviser on gender issues called on Russia to share its experience with other member states.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia’s progress in gender equality practices, especially within law enforcement and countering terrorism, is impressive, the senior adviser on gender issues in the Organization for Security Co-Operation in Europe (OSCE) said Thursday.

"I was impressed by the efforts of the Russian Federation to include women in law enforcement and security policies," Miroslava Beham said as quoted in an OSCE press release.

She added that the share of women participating in combating extremism and terrorism in Russia was higher than in other countries or international organizations.

Beham urged Moscow to share the experience in introducing these practices with the OSCE member states.
