Abstract

The implementation of equality and antidiscrimination strategies in Polish intelligence and counterintelligence institutions has lagged behind the rise in the number of female functionaries serving in them. Women in the Polish secret services are exposed to systemic prejudices and stereotypes that are rooted in a patriarchal mentality and in so-called muscular thinking. The underrepresentation of women in top management and leadership positions continues to be a barrier for women seeking careers in military and civilian agencies. Due to the hermetic and hierarchical character of such institutions and the predominance of men in them, organized promotion of gender diversity is very important. This is nonetheless related to the issue of tokenism, which leads to the informal isolation of women and to role encapsulation. The position of women in a male-dominated environment is undermined by the behavior patterns established by culture and the biological features attributed to the female body and to femininity. Changes have been initiated by women networking in Polish security institutions, but this is a gradual process.

摘要

波兰情报和反情报机构实施平等和反歧视战略落后于在其中服务的女性工作人员人数的增加。波兰特勤局中的女性暴露在系统性偏见和刻板印象中，这些偏见和刻板印象根植于父权心态和所谓的肌肉思维。女性在高级管理和领导职位中的代表性不足仍然是女性在军事和文职机构寻求职业的障碍。由于此类机构的封闭和等级特征以及男性占主导地位，有组织地促进性别多样性非常重要。然而，这与象征主义问题有关，这导致了女性的非正式孤立和角色封装。女性在男性主导的环境中的地位受到文化建立的行为模式以及归因于女性身体和女性气质的生物学特征的破坏。波兰安全机构中的女性网络已经引发了变化，但这是一个渐进的过程。
