Behroj told that this is an Islamic country and we need women soldiers and police to search the house and the body. The aim of the government was to recruit 10 percent women soldiers in the army by 2020. However, when the Army opened its doors to women in 2014, its recruitment process was slow. In fact, female enlistment in the military was reduced to 3 per cent after several reports of abuse, threats and discrimination.
