To increase female enrollment, the Canadian army is considering redesigning uniforms to shorten skirts and referring to medals as 'bling.'
In the report, the team notes that"systemic barriers remain in place, making the military a less than desirable choice for the majority of young Canadian women."
The group recommends that the committee be reformed to consist of no fewer than 25 percent of women to provide feedback on the fit and style of official garments. One functional change would be shortening and slimming the skirts worn by female soldiers, as well as changing their regulation dress shoes.
