Women Doctors Must Register for Draft in Ukraine

EC:
Ukraine is requiring female medical professionals to register with the military in case their service is needed. The requirement took effect on October 1, although women in a wide range of professions have been required to register with the military since December 2021.

The update specifies that female doctors, nurses, midwives, dentists, and pharmacists between the ages of 18 and 60 must register for the draft so that the military has a better account of the medical professionals in the country at its disposal—and where these professionals are already working.  

There is no immediate plan to conscript or mobilize women into the army, the Ukrainian ministry of defense has assured. Women registered for the draft are not restricted from leaving the country as men are. Additionally, women who are pregnant or on maternity leave would not be considered fit for military service. Women raising a child alone, as well as those with more than three minor children or who have a child with disabilities, would also be exempted from active service. 

Fedir Venislavskyi, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence, explained the new measures in an interview with RBC-Ukraine in September. more

  1. “Women registered for the draft are not restricted from leaving the country as men are.”

    But we DO encourage fighting age males in large numbers to leave O T H E R “war-torn” countries, provided they are Muslim and dark skinned, and offer them immediate benefits at taxpayer expense if they choose to “flee” to be our voters in the US.
