Female Engagement Team

A Female Engagement Team (FET) is a group of women within military or security forces who focus on engaging with local women and communities, especially in sensitive or conflict areas. Their role is to build trust, gather intelligence, and promote positive relationships by respecting cultural norms. By providing a female presence and understanding cultural sensitivities, they help facilitate communication, improve cooperation, and support efforts to stabilize and rebuild communities. Their work is essential in environments where gender dynamics influence social interactions and security.
