Lower Austria is the front runner
Women strengthen the armed forces in this country
The wide province is the leader in Austria when it comes to female soldiers: 171 women serve in the Austrian military in Lower Austria.
When it comes to women, the Lower Austrian Armed Forces are ahead of the pack, and not just on today's International Women's Day: with 171 female soldiers, the vast province is in first place in Austria for the proportion of women. "Women enrich us with their skills and perspectives - when we strengthen women, we strengthen the armed forces and thus our entire society," says Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner.
Promotion, networking and prospects
In order to mobilize even more female forces for the army, there have been equal career opportunities and equal earning opportunities as well as voluntary basic military service since April 2023. The military also wants to score points with women with Girls' Day, mentoring for female soldiers and the expansion of childcare.
