520 _aIn the past twenty years, the share of women soldiers has doubled in the French armed forces. Paradoxically, the feminisation of the profession has not made much of a change to the dominant representation of women, which continues to associate them with fragility. However, their integration in the armed forces reveals a tension between the principle of equality – which speaks in favour of the feminisation of the military institution – and the feminine vulnerability that is assumed by the law of war – which grants special provisions to women for the purpose of protecting them. In order to understand the meaning and structure of these two contradictory injunctions, this article attempts to interrogate the concept of vulnerability as defined by the law of war, and to explore the unique qualities attributed to women to promote their participation in military operations.
