Swedish case study on introducing more women into the police force<\/strong><\/p>\n\t{image2}The expert for gender and diversity in the Swedish police, Helena Casu Hall gave an interesting overview of good practices in increasing the number of women in the police.\u00a0 For example, the number of women in the Swedish police cannot be lower then\u00a0 40% according to the Swedish legislation.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cThe issue of gender equality in the police is not only a question of human rights, but it is about the development of the organization as well\u201c, asserted Helena Casu Hall.<\/p>\n
\tAs a very interesting example of the gender equality in the Swedish police she pointed out the concept of double leadership which allowes two people to share a managerial position as to balance their professional and private life better.{split}<\/p>\n
\t{image3}Gender sensitive statistics in Serbia<\/strong><\/p>\n\tThe representative of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia, Jana Kacarevic explaind the importance of gender sensitive statistics and the impact of gender roles on statistics. By giving a lot of practical examples, Kacarevic showed that statistics is not gender neutral and that can be of great significance in relation to strategic planning and analysis. The participants of the seminar pointed out the fact that in Serbia people pay attention to statistics only in cases of some tragedy and do not realize that gender sensitive statistics can help us to prevent different crimes.<\/p>\n
\tGorica Latinkic from theSector for Internal Control,\u00a0 Ministry of Interior RS (MoI) and member of the Analytical group for the implementation of the National Action Plan\u00a0 1325 onWomen<\/em>, Peace Security gave a presentation on data available for the purposes of personnel development track in the MoI. Besides that, she also talked about different types of records in the Ministry of Interior that include gender sensitive statistics. It was concluded that the MoI lacks certain data in order to fulfill gender equality goals.<\/p>\n\t\u201cIt is important to have additional parameters in data collection on career system of women, and the system of promotion based on merits and education. It is also of great importance to implement automatic and gender sensitive data collection of complaints and grievances\u201d, said Gorica Latinkic.<\/p>\n
\tIncorporating a gender perspective in disaster risk management<\/strong><\/p>\n\tHow gender affects the outcomes of natural disasters in Serbia and abroad showed Zorica Mrsevic, from the Institute for Social Sciences and professorat the Faculty for European Legal and Political Studies in Novi Sad (former Deputy Ombudsperson).<\/p>\n
\t\u201cEven though people usually think that natural disasters affect everyone, the reality shows that they are not gender neutral\u201d, pointed out Zorica Mr\u0161evic.<\/p>\n
\tOne of the proofs for that can be seen in the number of victims of Cunami(2004), where women comprised 80% of victims because they were on the shore waiting for their husbands to return from fishing.<\/p>\n
\tThe last day of seminar was dedicated to concrete tools for gender analysis in different areas of policing. For example, participants had an opportunity to analyze different security threats in Sweden and compare it with Serbia. Moreover, the participants took into consideration a gender perspective in the education process in the MoI and process of complaints and grievances as well.<\/p>\n
\tThe seminar gathered participants from the following organizational units within the MoI: Bureau for Strategic Planning, Directorate for Analytics, Bureau for International Cooperation and EU integration. There were also participants from the Directorate for Education, Bureau for Information of Public Importance, Directorate for Human Resources, Bureau for Complaints and Grievances, General Police Directorate and Sector for Internal Control etc.<\/p>\n
