The Ministry of Defence has taken all necessary steps in consultation with the relevant services so that the aspects of the issues raised by women non-commissioned officers are examined in their entirety, as stated in a statement concerning the demands of women non-commissioned officers, who claim to be victims of discrimination in their careers.
As explained, since 2016 the yearbooks of male and female non-commissioned officers have been unified, in 2017 common regulations were submitted and approved by the Parliament, which set common criteria for appointments, promotions and dismissals for all non-commissioned officers, regardless of gender, while from 2017 to 2021 on the basis of the new regulations almost 500 female non-commissioned officers have been promoted.
It is noted that following the Reports of the Commissioner of Administration and the discussion of the issue before the Parliamentary Human Rights Committee, the Ministry of Defence has taken all necessary steps in consultation with the relevant departments to ensure that the aspects of the issues raised by women non-commissioned officers are addressed in their entirety.
