ABSTRACT

How important are gender issues in international relations and world politics? The various events taking place in different parts of the world today have led to the inclusion of women in world politics not only as an active subject (in governance, peacekeeping, economic processes), but also as an important object of social relations. It has also become a requirement of the time to focus on women's issues in economic, social and political relations as a segment of the population in need of social protection due to poverty, internal conflicts, diseases, economic and political crises. At the same time, the issue of gender equality has become a voluntary and mandatory obligation for countries. No country in the world has achieved gender equality regardless of its level of development. This inequality has a number of well-established historical foundations. Firstly, long historical evidences prove that women’s physical weakness and the task of rearing children had placed them at a disadvantage and made it hard for them to compete with men. This disadvantage had been increased by the exclusion of women from knowledge, from work and from property ownership and political rights. In this article, I try to analyze the importance of gender phenomenon in world politics. Gender blindness of the system had its negative impacts at all spheres that found its proof through historical periods. Today, Gender is not only actual in global peace and stability, but also in sustainability of economic welfare and social maintenance.

KEYWORDS:
