Ministry of Defense of Ukraine wants more women to command front-line companies, said the ministry's Foreign Minister Lyudmila Daragan. Her words are quoted by the Party.
Daragan pointed out that Ukraine has “quite progressive legislation”, but in some places gender stereotypes still apply.
“We have a certain bias Today there are many women in the positions of financiers, employees of the personnel department, lawyers, but we do not actually have women in the positions of commanders, at least at the company level. And this does not depend on professionalism, professionalism or personal qualities, “she said at the Ukrainian Women's Congress.< /p>
According to her it is necessary to overcome the stereotype that “a woman cannot command”. She also noted that in October 2023, 62,000 women serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is about 7% of the total number of military personnel.
