"Women and Security" affirm the need to include gender perspective in public and private security
Director of UAB Prevention and Integral Safety and Security Montserrat Iglesias-Lucía presented on 19 September the results of the second study conducted by the Observatory for Women and Security, which shows a slight increase in the number of women in the sector, but a decrease in some leadership positions. Although organisations such as the Mossos d’Esquadra police have seen a 10.34% increase in women commissioners, in some local police forces there is an “irrelevant” representation of women in the upper senior positions (only 1.13%).
