Mujer, Paz y Seguridad: el Tratamiento del Género en las Fuerzas Armadas

One of the areas where advances in gender equality have been most relevant is that of security and defense. Partly because of its symbolic value as an expression of the full incorporation of women into tasks or groups traditionally reserved for men, and partly because of the urgent need to put a stop to the alarming situation of women as mass victims in recent armed conflicts. The purpose of this book is to trace how the principle of equality has been applied in Spain with regard to women in the field of defense and to analyze its application at the present time, taking into account the conceptual contributions of the gender perspective and the international commitments signed by our country.
