10 year129 October, it was reported that the British spy agency MI6 began to advertise for special agents on Mumsnet, the country's largest parenting website.

10 year1October 29th, BBC website reported that with the world premiere of Spectre, the latest film of 007 series, MI6 began to recruit a new generation of agents in real life by consulting mommy.

The British Parliament submitted a report in March this year, asking British intelligence agencies to pay attention to the "precious life experiences" of middle-aged mothers.

The Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee pointed out that MI5, MI6 and GCHQ have more than12,000 employees, of whom only 37% are women, most of whom hold junior positions, and the proportion of women in senior positions is only 19%.

The report suggests that women should be helped to develop their potential instead of being "marginalized" in the workplace because they have children.

The report was led by Blier, a female member of the British Parliament. Blier believes that intelligence personnel with similar backgrounds and characteristics are likely to have similar "prejudice" against the same incident, which is not conducive to finding problems and seeking solutions.

She believes that when national security is threatened, the diversity of intelligence personnel is helpful for intelligence analysis and response.

Blier stressed that middle-aged women's rich life experience is helpful for intelligence gathering, and suggested that the authorities should explore talents through different channels.

Justin Roberts, president of Mommy.com, said that MI6 posted a job advertisement on its website in May and received more applications than other job advertisements on the website.

She also said, "MI6 certainly didn't tell us whether their recruitment was successful or not, but they advertised three times, and you can imagine that they got a positive response. 」

The proposal of the British Parliament was inspired by ——DGSE, the largest intelligence agency in France.

The proportion of female employees in DGSE is only 26%, which is lower than that of British intelligence agencies.

A French magazine recently published a report about female employees of DGSE, expressing its intention to increase the recruitment of women for intelligence work.

Compared with the neglect of women in British and French intelligence agencies, the proportion of women in the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is as high as 48%, which shows that men and women are more equal.
