Recruitement of women for military institutions
Recruitement of women for military institutions

Summary/Abstract: This article was finished at the end of January 2022, with no idea of what was to come. We are faced with an unforeseeable war with no rules, with a deep impact on civilians. We are dealing with refugees escaping from war, women, girls, boys and elderly people, in their most vulnerable period of life. It is important to recognize that men and women are affected differently by the crises and we need to learn how to offer help according to their needs. Once more, these crises show us the importance of women in military environment and their presence in the peace negotiation process. I observed the complete absence of women from the negotiation table. Neither Russia nor Ukraine has any in their negotiation teams. Both teams are discussing issues with tremendous importance for women’s lives, but they are not present there. I want to give you an example: I volunteer in this crisis at the Bucharest North Railway. We offered food, drinks and hygienic products to the Ukrainian refugees. We try our best to provide them with the goods they need. The need for the participation of women with full rights and obligations in the military system was a topic that gave birth to passions, in the debate of which energy was consumed and which is still contested. The subject is still very topical because the factors that were taken into account in its debate have changed. Nowadays we no longer face a classical war, in which there is a front line or the relief of the rear. There have been studies that have proven the different influence of armed conflicts on women and girls. In this article, I will look at how the military institution is prepared to address women for recruitment.
