The Participation Of Women In Security Sector - The Feminist Concept
The Participation Of Women In Security Sector - The Feminist Concept

Summary/Abstract: The author of this paper attempts, through the prism of different feminist approaches to security issues, to answer the question of whether gender equality is necessary in the security sector. The paper discusses a shift in the security paradigm from one focused on the security of the state towards one focused on the security of citizens, namely a feminist concept of security and its implications for the increased participation of women and their role in this sector. Moreover, the author tries to explain how important it is to introduce gender issues and gender perspectives into security sector reform and to propose different possibilities for strategic action.
