Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to explore the role of Romanian military women in reconstructing the discourse of peace and security. Although international officials claim that women’s role is very important in preventing conflicts, in reconstructing peace and rebuilding society in post conflict zones, in reality women only have a formal role, both when they are part of the army as well as when they are civilians in conflict zones. International laws and the Romanian army both see women as victims, not as equal and important actors in achieving these goals.
