To achieve this, it will firstly provide an overview of gender inequality and discrimination in the military, using research to show how women have been disadvantaged and excluded from certain roles.

The first is to establish political equality where all citizens are equal before the law and all citizens have equal access to government. The second criteria declares that the country should operate under popular sovereignty and majority rule whereby the people decide and their ideas can only be approved and considered valid by a greater than fifty percent majority (or rejected by a greater than fifty percent majority).
