A cover illustration for "Perspective" magazine published by the Norwegian Refugee Council. The feature article dealt with the issue of women engaged in peacekeeping operations. The leading paragraph said: "In order to increase the protection of women in areas of armed conflict, the UN’s central strategy is to increase the number of women in peace keeping operations. Has the protection of women become a woman’s job?"
