In USA, women are involved in active duty, however their involvement in combat is the form of a support functions, brought about on voluntary basis", she informed, and turned towards Kapur who contributed further, "Sir during research we found that before November 1975, if women became pregnant, they were given the option to terminate pregnancy or seek discharge. A number of important steps were initiated during President Clinton's time. Women were permitted to join as combat aircraft pilots and could also be assigned for prolonged duty on combat naval ships. The scope of combat-risk assignments for women, thus Sir! was redefined to open additional appointments to them". said Kapur, and Dutta nodded with approval, and turned towards Pigott , "would you wish to remark about Britian Sir?. Piggot smiled and stroked his whiskers as he stood to speak in his clear English accent "ah yes ,of course officers, well to my knowledge in Britain, a major enlargement of women's role in the British armed forces took place in early 1990s. A number of new duties were assigned to them. Today, according to various defence journals, it appears so that women are well spread, in the Navy, Army and the Air Force of Britain. However women are primarily excluded from the duties which require battling enemy at close quarters". Piggott, pointed out, as he returned to his sitting position, and Dutta with sided eyes smiled with a bow of his head. Subramanium, raised his palm, "Sir! looking at other militaries , we found out that Canadian women had to undergo a long and slow struggle to be part of their armed forces, for Sir, research shows, that for over a hundred years, women were considered suitable only for nursing duties. However, perceptions have changed rapidly, and the importance of using them as a qualifying resource, where permissible, can be seen as during the recent past and today women account for close to 13 percent of the total strength of the Canadian forces. Women are permitted in all corps and can rise up to senior decision-making levels", he shared with an all ears audience. Khan raised her palm ,and looked across to Dutta and questioned, "Sir, can you throw some light on the countries where conscription applies, and it may imply that women are involved in front line action" Dutta, raised his eye brows and narrowed his eyes ,at her before he answered her interesting query,"well ,take Israel for example now this country, has conscription for both men and women, but as research points out, here also women are generally not allotted active battle field duties", Dutta clarified, and informed "however officers, defence information shows, that women do serve in many technical and administrative posts to release men, again like Usa, for active duty; they might reach levels of instruction posts, but I point out here, that mostly women occupy lower and middle level appointments; so only a handful reach senior ranks", he looked at Khan, "does that answer your question officer?" concluded Dutta's as he gazed at his officers for more interaction, and he moved his head forward, for Bannerjee to speak, who explained, further about Germany's women in forces."Sir! in Germany's case, women were allowed access to medical units and musical bands in 1975, but it was only in 2001 ,they won the right to the army as soldiers. However, women currently join on a voluntary basis as opposed to compulsory conscription which has now been banned, and constitute to 6% of the military strength." argued Bannerjee, Dutta bowed his chin, and realized that the discussion needed to be concise so he steered, "right officers, someone quickly, touch on a few more countries, for this discussion about the role of women in the forces on the world stage may go on for hours, so officers! now any more examples of states where women are kept at bay from line combat?" , he commanded, as he pulled his mouth down and his eyes questioned the officers. Venkateshan, continued,"Sir! information shows in the case of Australia, women are still not allowed in the field/battle, and in Russia too, women generally serve in the supportive units like nursing, communications and logistic support functions. General information, also shows that in our neighbouring state Pakistan women are not permitted in the frontline combat forces, as the concern is for the safety of women.
Well done hammie, there r mor👏e.i loved how Khan explained her experience in army, in a male dominated army.👏superb.me being a woman love when someone promotes the abilities of woman.to me male n female r not made equal by Allah, they can't b equal cz they r different.there is nothing about being superior-inferior.nobody can deny that male n female had different kind of contributions to society.the contributions can't b calculated in terms of equality, u can't classify them as more important, less important.so one should not deny the importance of the others.in army here women started participating.not yet in front line by i guess the day is not so far.
the aim was to keep the flavor of the regiments.. and pleased taz you too enjoyed reading as much as i did researching the info...
carry on reading.. and commenting... regards hamlet53
