Roli Emancipues i Gruas si Pjesë e Forcave të Armatosura
The Emancipatory Role of Women as Part of the Armed Forces

Summary/Abstract: The importance of women’s participation in the Forced Armies is a subject that asks for a special attention on Albanian historical studies whether during the internal develop-ment of communist regime, also during their inclusion in the international bodies after the 90s. During the communist regime even though women had the opportunity to practice this profession they weren’t taken as a study case but simply as part of the propaganda done in aid to woman’s emancipation. In the next 20 years with time pass-ing new changes were made so the role and the importance of the woman in the Forced Armies as an active soldier, faced some fundamentally changes due to the transformations the army went through when joining the NATO. This kind of evolution is the subject of this paper, explaining woman’s journey in the army, starting with facts showing women’s first inclusion in the Forced Arms to end up as representatives at NATO. Documents taken from AQFA put light on the reasons why it became important to include women into the army during the end of the 60s, the difficulties that the first military women went through, how their career got on and what changes were made during the initiatives for gender equality based on the resolute 1325 of the United Na-tions after 2000s.
