MILITARY SERVICE OF WOMEN IN THE ARMED FORCES OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERNATIONAL SOLUTIONS AND UNIVERSITY EDUCATION ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE MILITARY UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

One of the consequences of the abolition of compulsory military service and the professionalization of the Polish Army was the decision to allow women to have military qualifications. Women have access to all positions in the army for over 20 years and this period allows for drawing conclusions. Therefore, the aim of the article is to analyze the military service of women in Poland and present how this element of the Polish Armed Forces has evolved over time and to assess the importance of opening the army to the service of women. The authors also refer to the experience of women starting their service as part of military studies at the Military University of Technology, which is the largest military university in Poland and the first to accept women for officer studies, and the percentage of women studying military studies at the Academy is the highest. Additionally, the authors present the process of opening the armed forces to women’s military service in other NATO countries. The article is an attempt to summarize the process of women’s integration in the Polish Armed Forces, which is an important element of the process of professionalization of the army.
