Challenges of Gender
Mains-treaming Women in Police
Gender Stereotype
|
Men's Perceptions |
Women's Perceptions |
Women suited for feminine functions
Take same pay but do less work
Women find it difficult to cope with police job
Not enthusiastic or career minded
Women can work as cooks
Escort only female prisoners
Should not be involved in operations against
militants and insurgents
Women police are gentle |
can perform all functions
do equal work
no problem
committed and challenged
do not want to work as cooks
can escort male prisoners also
can handle everything
as tough as men |
Gender Discrimination and Inequality
|
Men's Perceptions |
Women's Perceptions |
Women are not discriminated
Given the same responsibilities
Given the same incentive and promotion
No need to integrate
Superiors not selective in assigning jobs
Should not be given duties on par with men
Women need special training to bring them on
par with men |
there is discrimination
not given the same kind of job
not given incentive and promotion
want to be in the mainstream
superiors are selective
underestimate capacity of women
no special training required |
All these indicate the various structural factors that do exist making it difficult for women getting into
the mainstream of the service.
