Abstract: After a short historical context, the paper provides an overview of international efforts over the last few decades in the integration of women into the armed forces. Faced with a wide variety of practices and different historical experiences and burdens, efforts to integrate women into the armed forces, led or directed by the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe as well as many other international regional organizations, have become a very visible and powerful way of the equality struggle of women and the promotion of gender-conscious policies. Croatia has shown a declarative – and to a certain extent real commitment to global efforts to make progress in the integration of women into the armed forces and the improvement of the overall position of women. Although significant progress has been made across the board, a number of obstacles impeding full equality of women remain; national implementation is extremely diverse in scope, while recent years have seen increasing regression trends in this regard.
