The place of women in police education the situation and perspective of women's human rights

Abstract

In this paper, the author attempts to establish, based on specific characteristics and on the openness of police education in Serbia and other Western Balkan countries, the extent to which equal rights of women and men concerning the accessibility to police education are respected, as well as their rights concerning the possibility of finding a job, building a career and their professional orientation in the police. All of that in light of respecting women' s human rights granted by the most important international documents on human rights, especially by the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Analyzing the situation of women in police education and within the police of different countries, first of all in those of Europe and the Western Balkans, and especially in Serbia, the author will establish the degree of conformity, but also the gap between de jure and de facto situations.

Rad predstavlja pokušaj da se, kroz specifičnost i otvorenost sistema policijskog obrazovanja u Srbiji i zemljama Zapadnog Balkana, utvrdi stepen poštovanja jednakih prava žena i muškaraca u pogledu dostupnosti ovog vida obrazovanja, ali i prava u pogledu zapošljavanja, karijere i profesionalnog usmeravanja u policiji, kao ženskih ljudskih prava garantovanih najvažnijim međunarodnim dokumentima o ljudskim pravima, a posebno tzv. Velikom Poveljom ženskih prava - Konvencijom o eliminisanju svih oblika diskriminacije žena (CEDAW). Kroz analizu statusa žena u policijskom obrazovanju i policijama različitih zemalja, a pre svega u Srbiji, definisaće se stepen podudaranja ali i razmimoilaženja stanja de jure i stanja de facto.
