Quality of Cooperation between Men and Women in the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic: Gender-Integrated Organization

Abstract

This article focuses on the innovative trend of the cooperation between men and women in peace processes, and analyzes the need to create a postmodern type of military organization – a so-called gender-integrated organization, which will ensure adequate consideration of the rights, needs, and interests of women and women’s involvement in the actions and objectives of peacekeeping missions. The research findings presented in the article reflect the state of the application of gender equality principle in the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic, as well as the state of the application of the recommendations for developing a plan of gender equality which obliges EU member states to ensure compliance with the Resolution 1325. The resolution requires a gender-balanced occupation rate and access to training for all missions, as well as gender mainstreaming in all activities carried out.
