Denmark imposes military service for women as well

Denmark has announced that it will begin conscripting women into military service for the first time.

Also, Denmark has ambitions to increase its defense budget by almost 6 billion dollars in the next 5 years to meet NATO objectives.

"We don't rearm because we want war.

We are rearming because we want to avoid it," said Denmark's prime minister, Metter Frederiksen.

Unveiling the reforms on Wednesday, Frederiksen said the government was seeking to achieve full gender equality. Meanwhile, Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said: Stronger recruitment, including full gender equality, should contribute to solving defense challenges, national mobilization and the management of our armed forces.

Women in the Scandinavian country can now volunteer for military service. The government plans to introduce female conscription from 2026, making it only the third European country, alongside Norway and Sweden, to require women to serve in the armed forces.

According to these reforms, the conscription service will be extended from 4 to 11 months, for both men and women. Denmark's armed forces currently number around 20,000 active personnel, including around 9,000 professional troops.
