The Female-Formed Police Unit (FFPU) is a UN contingent composed of Indian women helps keep the peace in the West African nation of Liberia, devastated by one of Africa's most bloody civil wars. This war has left more than 2,00,000 people dead, thousands scarred by violence and rape, a shattered economy, 85 percent unemployment, and crime on a spectacular scale. The Indian contingent consists of 125 officers of whom 105 are women from all over India. The men cook, drive and maintain the vehicles. The women help maintain law and order and provide armed backup to the Liberian National Police.
