The Finnish Ministry of Defense is planning an experiment in which urgent male and female military personnel will be housed in the single sleeping quarters of the barracks. To ensure privacy, for example, in case of a change of linen, it is planned to use screens. At the same time, at least two people of the same gender are required to be placed in the general barracks.
According to the military, the law adopted in 1995 is fundamentally outdated. According to the current charter, it is necessary for women to organize separate sleeping quarters, which, in the opinion of representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the Union of Conscripted Military Forces, does not contribute to the development of equality and the strengthening of team spirit.
However, this rule has more exceptions, because now women and men share sleeping space in exercises, in the field and other special conditions, as well as while serving on the Navy ships.
The experiment is under development and its details are only being specified. It is only known that it will be held simultaneously in various military units throughout Finland.
Recall that in 2018, a record number of female persons filed an application for military service - 1,500 people. A year earlier - 1,126, and in 2016 - 842 girls.
