Despite achievements in education, women's labor force participation stands at only **32.7%**, with the majority in **vulnerable employment** positions.
The proposed **constitutional amendment**, under **Article 16**, aims to ensure **50% representation** for women in all government roles, addressing long-standing disparities.
