In some countries, women do military service: somewhere they are subject to compulsory conscription, somewhere they go to the army at will. The best option in this case is the contracted service provided in a number of countries.

Perhaps the most famous country for its female soldiers is Israel. There, their share in the armed forces is more than 35%. Women in Israel are called up for military service and end up in special female units where physical training standards developed specifically for them are in force. The appeal of women in Israel is mainly due to the specifics of Israeli history and the constant presence of this country in a state of war. However, if the girl got married before the call, she is exempted from the service. Also, women can be released for ethical and religious reasons, for pregnancy, for health reasons. Ladies in the army serve 21 months, unlike men for whom the term is 3 years. At night, they can return home and have some other indulgences.

In the USA and Europe (Sweden, Spain, Great Britain, etc.) women have the right on their own initiative to serve under the contract on the same terms as men. However, the standards of physical preparation for the two sexes differ - the training program takes into account the characteristics of the female body. Girls may be allowed to control ships and aircraft, but they cannot be tankmen, infantrymen, submariners, serve in special units where fighting is taking place and there is direct contact with the enemy.

In India, women, until recently, were not allowed directly to military service, but could serve in military medical hospitals. In May 2013, a woman who first entered the sapper forces committed suicide after being abducted. In Pakistan, close to India, girls can serve in engineering and medical units. And one lady military doctor in this country even received a general rank.

The conditions of service for women in North Korea are harsh; there, by law, they can be called up for up to 7 years. In the 90s, many went to the army voluntarily, because times were difficult and hungry, and the army had the opportunity to receive food. However, they do not hire all, but only those who are faithful to the party and girls of good origin. In total, they make up about 10% of the composition.

Certain difficulties are associated with the service of women in the army, since the conditions for the most effective disclosure of potential are not always provided for them. And since this phenomenon is quite young on a historical scale, the capabilities of the female body under conditions of intense work are not sufficiently studied to ensure the correct regime and standards specifically for the female sex. Often, women try to keep up with men in efficiency and not yield to anything. As a result of injury, they get 3 times more likely - this is the conclusion of the English doctors who conducted the study on this topic. Girls find it too hard to wear uniforms and weapons. In addition, there are cases of pressure from men who are not happy to see them in their traditionally territory.
