Women in the Royal Canadian Navy: Breaking Barriers and Paving the Way
Niobe Papers | No. 7 (October 2019) Catherine St-Jacques Niobe Papers, No 7 Women in the Royal Canadian Navy: Breaking Barriers and Paving the Way Catherine St-Jacques ver the years, women have successfully moved into new occupations in new fields, and this includes the military. Since releasing its new defence policy in 2017, Strong, Secure, O Engaged, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have identified the recruitment of women as a priority. The policy states: “we are committed to attracting, recruiting and retaining more women in the CAF across all ranks and promoting women into senior leadership positions. The CAF is committed to gender equality and providing a work environment where women are welcomed, supported and respected.”1 When the policy was released, women represented 15% of CAF members (compared to the 11% average of NATO allies). The goal established in Strong, Secure, Engaged is to increase this number to 25% over a period of 10 years.2 The 25% female representation target is applied to all branches of the CAF, including the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). The Chief of Defence Staff, General Jonathan Vance, is determined to reach this target and have women represent a quarter of the military personnel by 2026.3 According to official RCN statistics, there are 7,510 positions within the navy, 6,681 of which are filled with trained personnel. There are 760 women currently serving in the ranks of the RCN, representing 11.3% of the navy’s regular force, a number lower than the average of women serving in the CAF in general.4 The RCN states that it is determined to meet the target set by Strong, Secure, Engaged, and continues to focus on achieving the goal.
