Gender equality does not mean physical equality between men and women and is not based on denial, but on the acceptance of differences between women and men. This means that gender equality policy advocates a genuine partnership between women and men and the sharing of responsibilities in correcting imbalances in public and private life. Gender equality is often equated with equality. This concept is closer to the people, but it only means the legal equality of women and men. This kind of understanding of gender equality, however, is too narrow and inappropriate. The modern concept of gender equality thus includes both formal (de jure) and de facto (de facto) equality; that is, equality, which refers to formal legal equality, and equality, which refers to actual situations in the relationship between the genders and concerns real circumstances.
The master's thesis aims to explore the role of gender equality in the international law of armed conflict, more precisely what are the effects of armed conflict on gender inequality in practice, how the principle of gender equality is regulated in international legal documents and what key elements must contain prohibition of discrimination or implementing the principle of gender equality not only in theory but also in practice. The hypothesis of the master's thesis is that the principle of gender equality is well regulated in international legal acts, but in practice it is not sufficiently implemented.
