Women in the military : the case of Slovenia

Garb, Maja (author)

The Slovenian Armed Forces (SAF) include a significant proportion of women (at least according to other NATO members and make up approximately 15 % of the total structure. Lately, the percentage is diminishing due to stricter standards. At the beginning, women could enter the SAF without any prior military knowledge. Today common training and education is provided for all- men and women. Gender issues are regulated by laws, but the legal regulation appeared rather late. In addition, many aspects are poorly regulated. Many practical problems can be observed (from infrastructural to problems of inter-personal relations) and it is evident, that the approach for solutions should be more systematic.
