Abstract

In order to fulfill the tasks of the research, the essence and content of the implementation of the principle of gender equality in the law enforcement system of Ukraine was clarified, the state of administrative and legal support of this process was clarified. Gender equality means that all human beings have the freedom to develop their personal capacities and freedom of choice without the constraints associated with rigid gender roles. That is, the different behavior, aspirations and needs of women and men are taken into account, evaluated and supported equally. Modern state policy of Ukraine is aimed at achieving equal rights and opportunities for women and men in society, which is necessary to avoid all forms of discrimination and realize every individual regardless of age and gender, social or political prerequisites. Ukraine has undertaken to fulfill key international commitments to ensure gender equality. The signed Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU obliges the state to guarantee equal opportunities for women and men in the fields of employment, education, training, economy, society and decision-making. The activities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine and other executive authorities are directed and coordinated by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine through the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, all state and international ideas and programs that will contribute to the establishment of an institutional mechanism for the implementation of gender policy in the security and defense sector are supported. Expanding the importance of the role of women in the security sector is an integral part of the process of transformation of society in general and consists in deepening the role of influence of women in the security sector and expanding their opportunities to realize their professional potential at all levels. Unfortunately, Ukraine, in the form of state bodies and non-governmental organizations, is forced to continue to oppose propagandistic information movements and campaigns that have recently become more active in the mass media and social networks. Therefore, the introduction of an effective policy to prevent and combat the stereotypical idea of the role of men and women in society is one of the conditions, the guiding basis for the establishment and provision of constitutional human rights and freedoms. Its implementation is the task of the entire system of state authorities, including law enforcement. These issues require administrative and legal support for the implementation of the principle of gender equality both in the law enforcement system of Ukraine in general and in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in particular.
