The question of conscripting women into military service has returned to the agenda in Germany.
Globalinfo.az reports that this was reported by “Sky News”.
It is noted that the topic is being discussed against the backdrop of strengthening the country’s defence capabilities and planned changes to the military service system.
The material presents footage from a military training camp attended only by women, and examines young women’s attitudes towards the new military service rules.
Under the new rules that have entered into force in Germany, 18-year-olds are sent a questionnaire about military service.
Answering the questionnaire is mandatory for men, while women may take part voluntarily.
At present, no decision has been taken on conscripting women into compulsory military service.
According to the plans, the recruitment of volunteers will be expanded first of all.
If the number of volunteers is not sufficient, a separate decision by parliament will be required to introduce compulsory military service.
