This combination of the measures meant to create equal opportunities especially in employment in order to ensure that the minority groups are represented. The main aim is prevention of segregation of employees on the basis of race, gender or religion as well as the national origin when they apply for job opportunities. The government puts this policy in place in order to ensure equality in the provision of job opportunities therefore preventing the marginalization of such groups in the society.

(Long, 2007) Affirmative action is therefore aimed at promoting the minority groups in the society such that they are well represented in the both in government institutions and education sector or programs. This therefore ensures that cases regarding past discrimination or persecution of the minority groups are well taken care of as well as compensated for the injustices they were subjected to. It must therefore cover the recent issues of concern mainly relating to gender concerns. (Magnus, 2001)
