Die Konstruktion des weiblichen Geschlechts – eine Legitimationsgrundlage für militärisches Handeln der Bundeswehr?

The author deals with stereotypical role attributions assigned to Afghan women by the German Bundestag during the twenty-year Afghanistan mission (2001-2021). It examines the extent to which these stereotypes of Afghan women represented a continuum in the discourse of the mandates during the period of deployment or were merely used to legitimise military action.
