women in armed forces
in Current Affairs & Latest News
Recently, the women won a case regarding getting permanent commission in army. Presently, the women get permanent commission in the AMC only. The women will now get permanent commission in all branches of army.
But the top Defence authorities are still reluctant. Not only there is physical difference but also social issues. There is no problem if men are held prisoners of war. If a woman soldier is held war prisoner, no body can protect her from maltreatment including rape. Will the women organizations and society accept this.

    Abid- you have stated that women employed by army will not be sent to battle field so as to be captured by enemies. hence, women can be employed by Army only in services like supply, hospital, canteens and not in infantry. The women are fighting for equality with men. If this is accepted, they have to act like male soldiers and can be made prisoner by enemy. Hence, the Army Commanders are reluctant to employ them in fighting services like infantry and artillery.

    Yes, Anbul. That is why I think they should be posted in branches other than infantry and artillery and given equal opportunities in those branches. I think similar problems arise with women police personnel in combating insurgents and bandits.

    Anbul- The social norms in foreign countries are different. If their women soldiers are caught by enemy and even raped, maltreated and molested, there will not be a big issue like India. If the women and our society can reconcile to possibility of capture and any consequence, they may well get role like men.

    Abid- I mentioned about some branches in Army, which do not directly fight but play supporting role. There is very less risk of capture by enemy in such branches. There is no difficulty in women being recruited in these.
