In the modern civilized world, the ideas of gender equality are actively developed and implemented in all spheres of public life. Ukraine does not stand aside from these processes. Although, unfortunately, there are still some spheres of public life in our country, which are traditionally considered "purely masculine". Until recently, military service remained one of these areas. However, in the last decade (especially after the beginning of the aggression by the Russian Federation), the processes of implementing gender equality policy in the field of public administration, including in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, have intensified. In particular, there have been significant changes in the legal regulation of relevant issues, there is an active process of formation of state institutions designed to monitor the observance of gender equality and non-discrimination on the grounds of sex. There are a number of different international legal acts in the world that determine the equality of women and men, and Ukrainian legislation is based on this international experience. However, the situation with the creation of real conditions for service in the Armed Forces for women servicemen on an equal footing with male servicemen is far from ideal and therefore requires changes in current legislation and improvement of the mechanism for gender equality in the service of women in the Armed Forces. contradictory aspects in this area. there are different approaches to the definition of the terms "gender", "gender equality", etc. The Ukrainian national legal system, ie the system of its normative legal acts, operates with the concept of "gender equality". Active research on gender equality in various fields of research began in the second half of the twentieth century, but movements for equal rights for men and women began much earlier. In Ukraine, there is a historical tradition when a woman held a fairly high status in the family, society, they played an active role in the economy and so on.

The aim of the article is to disclose the most common challenges faced by women during military service based on the results of the gender equality state’s analysis in the armed forces of various states, and to develop suggestions for their solution. The use of the comparative method allowed to compare the existing doctrinal approaches to the women’s gender equality concept in the modern states’ armed forces, to determine the quantitative rates of women’s service in the armed forces of various states and to analyze the most common challenges faced by women servicemen in the time of service. In order to solve gender inequalities in the armed forces, their Ministries of Defense should introduce measures promoting women’s rights in the armed forces. Successful implementation of this goal requires the solution of a number of tasks, including the eradication of the following cases: unprofessional behavior; bullying; morally outdated double and inconsistent standards’ application; sexual harassment and assaults on women; the application of any stereotypes based on the violation of women’s equal rights to serve in the armed forces on par with men, etc.

The article is devoted to the study of the essence and content of the regulatory mechanism of administrative and legal regulation of bullying prevention in Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on the fact that most scholars reduce the regulatory mechanism in various spheres of life to a direct list of legal acts that regulate a particular area, ignoring the definition of "regulatory mechanism". It is noted that the administrative and legal mechanism for preventing bullying in Ukraine is divided into two blocks: regulatory and organizational and institutional. It is revealed that the regulatory mechanism of administrative-legal regulation of bullying prevention should be understood as a set of processes of administrative-legal regulation by authorized subjects aimed at bullying prevention, regulated by norms of law, which find their external expression in regulatory acts. In turn, the regulatory mechanism of bullying prevention is a system of normatively established lawful rules of conduct, which are aimed at preventing bullying. It is indicated that the main elements of the regulatory mechanism of administrative-legal regulation of bullying prevention are norms of law and acts of application of norms of law. Norms of law are the foundation of the regulatory mechanism of administrative-legal regulation. They find their external manifestation in normative-legal acts, due to which there is an administrative-legal regulation of a certain sphere of public life, including in the sphere of bullying prevention (or in the educational environment in general). The article presents the author's system of normative-legal acts of bullying prevention in Ukraine, which is formed taking into account the criterion of legal force. It is concluded that the consideration and analysis of specific law enforcement acts is a promising area of research of the regulatory mechanism of administrative-legal regulation of bullying prevention.

This paper reviews positive experiences in the implementation of the UNSC Resolution 1325 in the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces (MoD and SAF). Since the first National Action Plan for the Implementation of the UNSC Resolution 1325 – Women, Peace and Security in the Republic of Serbia (2010- 2015) is no longer valid, the best evidence of the significant improvements that have been made regarding gender equality in the MoD and SAF are the achieved results. In addition to improved gender awareness, and a higher representation of women in the defence system, these results also indicate that the roles, positions and protection of women have been improved. Future responses to all the challenges that stand in a way of full objectification of gender equality in the MoD and SAF require additional efforts for their timely identification, comprehensive understanding, correct interpretation and objective presentation. Today, as was the case with the pervious document, the MoD of the Republic of Serbia has a key role in drafting the new National Action Plan for the period 2016-2020, especially with regard to the definition of its objectives and determining the dynamics of their implementation, thereby taking into consideration contemporary standards in the area of gender equality, accumulated knowledge, lessons learned, empirical research findings and experience gained by other countries at the regional and global level. V članku so predstavljene pozitivne izkušnje pri izvajanju Resolucije OZN 1325 na Ministrstvu za obrambo in v Vojski Srbije. Ker prvi nacionalni akcijski načrt za uresničevanje Resolucije OZN 1325 – Ženske, mir in varnost v Republiki Srbiji (2010–2015) ni več v veljavi, so doseženi rezultati najboljši dokaz pomembnih izboljšav na področju enakosti spolov na Ministrstvu za obrambo in v Vojski Srbije. Poleg boljše ozaveščenosti na področju spolov in večje zastopanosti žensk v obrambnem sistemu ti rezultati kažejo tudi na izboljšane vlogo, položaj in zaščito žensk. Za prihodnje odgovore na izzive, ki se še pojavljajo na poti do popolne objektivizacije enakosti spolov na Ministrstvu za obrambo in v Vojski Srbije, so nujna dodatna prizadevanja, da se pravočasno odkrijejo, celovito razumejo, pravilno tolmačijo in objektivno predstavijo. Danes, podobno kot pri pripravi prejšnjega dokumenta, ima Ministrstvo za obrambo Republike Srbije glavno vlogo pri oblikovanju novega nacionalnega akcijskega načrta za obdobje 2016–2020, še zlasti pri opredeljevanju ciljev in določanju dinamike njihovega uresničevanja. Pri tem se upoštevajo sodobni standardi na področju enakosti spolov, pridobljeno znanje, učenje iz izkušenj, rezultati empiričnih raziskav ter izkušnje drugih držav na regionalni in globalni ravni.

The Military

Although feminist scholars agree that there exists a systemic relationship between masculinity and militarism, the exact contours of that relationship are debatable. Most feminists argue that as a primary goal, the women’s movement ought to seek approaches for the abolition of militarism, rather than using women’s participation in the military as a means of enhancing gender equality. Despite admonitions about the dangers of pursuing gender equality through military service, feminists must also weigh these concerns against women’s advances within the military and the use of the military in peacekeeping and humanitarian operations, both of which are essential to the Women, Peace and Security agenda. This article therefore turns a critical feminist lens on theories of military re-gendering. I explore whether military organizations that have traditionally valorized militarized masculinity can be transformed—both at an individual and systemic level—to embrace an egalitarian iteration of masculinity and contribute to a more peaceable international system. To examine the possibility of regendering in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), I review 17 interviews that I conducted with members of the CAF from 2017-2018 using theories of military regendering. My analysis indicates that servicemembers are engaging in critical examination of the military’s gender culture, and their position within that culture. By critically engaging with questions about the relationship between gender and militarism, military personnel may be participating in the incremental—and fragile—process of improving the gender culture of the CAF.

The issue of psychological support to military personnel especially in the course of the conduct of combat activities is exceptionally up to date. One of the many ways of providing such assistance is the psychological correction. Civil psychologists in the course of their professional activity fully use the opportunities of the psychological correction whilst working with clients. In the context of providing psychological support within the Armed Forces of Ukraine this category has been slightly pushed out. This could be related with several reasons that urge for a separate analysis and highlight. This article presents a thorough theoretical analysis of the concept of psychological correction and its role and place within the system of the moral-psychological support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The guidelines that present the definitions of psychological correction have been analyzed and this created the possibility to identify the two existing directions of psychological correction, namely the annihilation of the negative consequence of participating in combat activities (within the framework of conducting the measures of psychological rehabilitation) and forming the qualities needed for military service (within the framework of the everyday psychological support of service activities) and additional suggestions in terms of directions of its use. The principle differences of such definitions as "psychological correction" "psychological consultation" and "psychotherapy" have been defined. The approaches on determining the psychological correction by civil researchers have been defined, both by foreign and domestic scientists. Such an analysis has allowed developing a unique definition of psychological correction and most certainly whilst including the peculiarities of the activity of military psychologists. The results of the conducted activities that have been highlighted in the article are the fundament for conducting further activity with the issues mentioned, particularly the ability to develop the methodology of using the psychological correction at every of the mentioned stages whilst working with military personnel, as well as the development of an educational program for psychologist-officers and the employees of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to increase their professional qualification in such an important issue.

The article provides a comparative analysis of the national strategy to improve the status of women in the Russian Federation and alternative legislation on gender equality, as well as the heated debate that has developed in the media on the implementation of equal rights and equal opportunities for women and men. The clash of opinions is considered from the point of view of correspondence of the discussion of the issue of gender equality to the specific actions of the actors involved in it. Shown are the changes in Russian gender policy, often quite formal, and, as a result, the deterioration of international indicators of Russia's place in the ranking of gender equality. Various approaches to the definition of the term “gender” in the public are shown.

Nowadays, constitutional reforms are continuing, which are aimed at the development of a democratic state governed by the rule of law and European integration. Equal rights and opportunities for both genders constitute one of the fundamental principles of democracy and respect for the individual. Gender equality permeates all the provisions of the Constitutions of Kyrgyzstan and Ukraine. In fact, the Fundamental Law determines the gender strategy for the state. The most important line of the women's movement in recent years has been lobbying for necessary changes in laws and draft laws related to gender issues. The study analyses some aspects of women's representation in the activities of government bodies in Ukraine and the Kyrgyz Republic. The study presents theoretical and practical opinions, expert assessments on the representation of women in a state governed by the rule of law. The problems of reforming the legislation and the foundations of public relations since the beginning of the 1990s and up to the present time are also addressed, leading to a rethinking of the essence of gender equality and contributing to the activation of the development of new approaches to legal regulation in the given subject area. During the analysis, it was noted that to perform international obligations to achieve gender equality in the countries under study, constitutional framework and guarantees of adherence to the principle of equality were developed, which is also constituted in the provisions of the Fundamental Law of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Constitution of Ukraine

Research on the specifics of the legal regulation of certain categories of employees is conducted by leading foreign research centers and international organizations. In particular, the work of women, children, disabled people, homeworkers, seasonal workers and migrants is one of the most active research topics within the UN, ILO, OSCE, and CIS. For example, the topics are “Labor Market Trends and Outlook”, “Labor, Income and Equity”, “Changing World of Work”, “Macroeconomic Policies and Jobs”, “Globalization and Labor Market”, “Policy evaluation”, “Youth and Gender Issues” (Special issues of youth and gender are also covered) are recognized as one of the main topics studied by the ILO Research Department in The direction of labor market trends and prospects. The following results were obtained in scientific studies conducted in the field of determining the features of legal regulation of labor of certain categories of workers in foreign countries: proposals were developed and implemented to ensure gender equality in labor relations (University of Sterling, Scotland), eliminate discrimination by introducing rules of differentiation (Rand Afrikaans University, South Africa), and provide additional opportunities in the field of labor for women and persons employed in family responsibilities (University of Essex, UK), increasing the role of contracts in regulating the work of home workers (Middlesex University, UK), providing equal rights in the use of migrant labor (University of Oxford, UK).

The purpose of the article is to typologize terminological definitions of security, to find out the general, to identify the originality of their interpretations depending on the subject of legal regulation. The methodological basis of the study is the methods that made it possible to obtain valid conclusions, in particular, the method of comparison, through which it became possible to correlate different interpretations of the term "security"; method of hermeneutics, which allowed to elaborate texts of normative legal acts of Ukraine, method of typologization, which made it possible to create typologization groups of variants of understanding of the term "security". Scientific novelty. The article analyzes the understanding of the term "security" in various regulatory acts in force in Ukraine. Typological groups were understood to understand the term "security". Conclusions. The analysis of the legal material makes it possible to confirm that the issues of security are within the scope of both legislative regulation and various specialized by-laws. However, today there is no single conception on how to interpret security terminology. This is due both to the wide range of social relations that are the subject of legal regulation and to the relativity of the notion of security itself and the lack of coherence of views on its definition in legal acts and in the scientific literature. The multiplicity of definitions is explained by combinations of material and procedural understanding, static - dynamic, and conditioned by the peculiarities of a particular branch of legal regulation, limited ability to use methods of one or another branch, the inter-branch nature of some variations of security, etc. Separation, common and different in the definition of "security" can be used to further standardize, in fact, the regulatory legal understanding of security to more effectively implement the legal regulation of the security direction.

Drawing on Karin Bijsterveld’s triple definition of noise as ownership, political responsibility, and causal responsibility, this article traces how modern Japan problematized noise, and how noise represented both the aspirational discourse of Western civilization and the experiential nuisance accompanying rapid changes in living conditions in 1920s Japan. Primarily based on newspaper archives, the analysis will approach the problematic of noise as it was manifested in different ways in the public and private realms. In the public realm, the mid-1920s marked a turning point due to the reconstruction work after the Great Kantô Earthquake (1923) and the spread of the use of radios, phonographs, and loudspeakers. Within a few years, public opinion against noise had been formed by a coalition of journalists, police, the judiciary, engineers, academics, and municipal officials. This section will also address the legal regulation of noise and its failure; because public opinion was “owned” by middle-class (sub)urbanites, factory noises in downtown areas were hardly included in noise abatement discourse. Around 1930, the sounds of radios became a social problem, but the police and the courts hesitated to intervene in a “private” conflict, partly because they valued radio as a tool for encouraging nationalist mobilization and transmitting announcements from above. In sum, this article investigates the diverse contexts in which noise was perceived and interpreted as such, as noise became an integral part of modern life in early 20th-century Japan.
