    Full implementation of the 25% affirmative action as enshrined in the Constitution remains a big challenge to the Government because women illiteracy rate is higher than that of the men. This illiteracy rate among the women population is caused by customs and traditions perceptions and led to different allocation of duties, recognition and valuing of roles of women in the society. These experiences cut across the entire social construction ranging from the family, community to the national levels through religion, education, culture, and the media. [Para 55]
