The key problems of implementation of the state gender policy in the units of the National Guard of Ukraine are analysed. Attention is focused on the barriers of a normative, organisational, infrastructural, socio-cultural and educational nature that complicate the implementation of the principles of equality and non-discrimination. The article also addresses the issues of lack of effective monitoring mechanisms, insufficient institutional capacity, gender stereotypes, limited access to resources and opportunities for professional development. Ways to improve the mechanisms for implementing the state gender policy in the National Guard of Ukraine are proposed. The results obtained can be used to optimise approaches to the implementation of the policy of equal rights and opportunities in the security and defence sector of Ukraine.
