Women should be open to being conscripted into the military in light of the threat posed by Vladimir Putin’s Russia, Denmark’s defence minister suggested this week.
Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, the deputy prime minister and minister of defence of Denmark said that at present, the NATO country is unable to defend itself and therefore should seek to expand the ranks of it’s armed forces.
Appearing on TV2, the defence minister said that this effort should include expanding conscription, including drafting women into the military.
The defence minister’s comments drew some pushback in Denmark, including from within the Social Democrat party of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, the second woman to serve as the elected leader of the country.that while he would like to increase the number of women in the military, he did not agree with the idea of conscripting females, claiming that there should be a “more modern way of approaching the challenge of gender equality in the Armed Forces.
