Women should have an equal role alongside men in both police and armed forces. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, an Increasing numbers of women are choosing to join in military and

police

force

.

Although

I think that females should be given enough chances in

such

national security division, I personally disagree, with the idea that there is a need for equal participation in certain positions. One the one hand, women should be chosen for jobs according to their skills, qualifications and character. Indeed, females are capable of doing jobs in which communication and high pressure are involved.

For example

, Marta Chavez, who was the minister of national defence in Peru from 1990 to 1995, marked an important precedent being the

first

woman in the charge.

Furthermore

, she was an important figure in the fight against terrorism in those years, illustrating the large ability of women to resolve and create strategies in decisive periods.

On the other hand

, it is an undeniable fact that both males and females have specific characteristics. A great number of positions in military and

police

forces require physical strength, which made it more suitable for men. To illustrate

this

more, take the case of the

police

force

, who may constantly encounter fight with protesters on the street, charging heavy weapons and barriers, using only

force

to retain the crowd.

Furthermore

, rough times as the war situation often require an objective point of view rather than sensitive emotions,

this

could be a transcendental choice between staying alive or death. To sum up, considering the fact that there are a great number of positions in the army and

police

force

that require high physical power, I fully support the idea that there is no need to have equal roles.
