Is it permissible to join mixed gatherings while safeguarding one’s own eyes?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I work in military. There are mixed gatherings which are compulsory to be joined. Men and women sit separately but there is no physical partition between them. Now, if I refuse to join I may be put into trouble by bad posting stations and dismissal from service. It is permissible to join such gatherings while safe guarding ones own eyes.

Answer

(Fatwa: 827/533/H=1432)

In the case mentioned above, it may be allowable to join it safeguarding your eyes and heart.
