Abstract
Women’s participation in an ever-widening range of occupations is related to growing
emancipation, their physical and mental fitness, their ability to solve complex problems
based on acquired scientific knowledge, skills, and a strong specific disposition in leading
teams. With their natural empathy, inherent to women – mothers, feelings, responsibility,
and rational thinking, they show that they are rightly given the same opportunities as
their male co-workers. They occupy a wide range of manual work, they are irreplaceable
in services, health care, education, science, parliament, but also the police or the armed
forces. They do business, run multinational companies, fly aircrafts etc. Less than a century
ago, it was rare to see women in the military, and yet women now fight in ground
combat, command air combat, pilot combat aircraft, and oversee medical operations. The
aim of the paper is to evaluate the participation of women in the tasks of the Armed
Forces of the Slovak Republic in terms of gender stereotypes and to identify the possibilities
of full employment of women in the civil service in the reflection of the current military
aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
