Funded Activity Summary

Women in Combat: a comparative analysis of removing the combat exclusion. Women are excluded from combat duties in the majority of defence forces across the world. This project will consider why some countries, such as Australia, have chosen to remove the combat exclusion and the impacts of this policy change. By gathering and analysing data from four countries that have removed the exclusion (Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States), this project will advance our understanding of the political drivers and the consequences of this policy change, in terms of gender integration.
