The reasons for the low participation:
- Frequent inter district transfer.
- Poor child care system.
- Sexual harassment at the workforce.
- Lack of adequate facilities-changing room, Hygiene: Washing room
- There is a psychic that Police is considered as Man’s Job.
- There is discrimination in Promotion.
