Researcher Ogbogu defined in 2012, the role of
the Women in the Political Society of the Nigeria. The main focus of Ogbogu is
the developments that occur in the latest era of the politics in the Nigeria.
He also described the women composition in the Councils of the Nigeria. In
2007, in Nigeria, the activities of the women is the political society
increased and the seats occupied by the women is 7% while the men occupied 93%
of the seats in the Nigerian Councils. While on the other hand, the elections
appeared and they show that the 6 women were chosen as deputy governors while
on the other hand no person was elected as governor in the 36 available seats
of the Nigeria.
Having examined the obstructions that
restricted ladies' job in the political circle, social culture is perceived as
the most mind boggling challenge that lies before ladies' political
aspirations. The watched low pattern in female support in the legislative
issues isn't detached with the way that increasingly male establish the
enrollment of the most ideological groups and subsequently promptly accessible
to be decided in favor of. Likewise this pattern exhibits that social
development of male and female jobs in Nigeria with the end goal that male
standard, while the female pursue. As a male centric culture, political of
exercises in Nigeria fall outside the limits of socially adequate exercises of
ladies. Because of such mainstream sees on fittingness of political exercises
for ladies, their investment is compelled (Ogbogu, 2012).
In the examination, a large portion of the
females' respondents showed that rejection from political is highlighted by the
way that most ideological group systems administration and assembly meeting are
held in the evenings. The planning of such gatherings are unsociable hours are
not proper for ladies. Because of the common sexual orientation related work
assignments in Nigeria and the multifaceted jobs of ladies, they guaranteed
that they can't go to such gathering where urgent choices are taken. Moreover,
governmental issues are portrayed as a "filthy game" which is
utilized as a guide to reject ladies from ideological group arrange. It is
accepted that legislative issues are presenting ladies to close associations
with men. This collaboration is socially inadmissible and is viewed as
inconsiderateness (Ogbogu, 2012).
The analyst has indicated that economy is
basic factor to ladies' interests in governmental issues. The quantity of men
who have the caring cash that is required to win political decision exceeds the
ladies. Budgetary thought is the best factor that decides the application of
the legislators in the gathering level. Aside from those gathering
perspectives, just barely any ladies who prevailing to represent the races have
become the casualties of their particular monetary ineptitudes, since 56% is
distinguished as the significant obstacle for verifying triumph at surveys.
This suggests apparatus and absence of straightforwardness in the constituent
procedure influences ladies.
Kenya and Ethiopia of the Political Participation and
Decision-Making:
As discussed above but the different countries
and the roles of the women in the political societies among those countries,
some studies of the women of the Kenya and Ethiopia is also discussed. Both the
countries Kenya and Ethiopia share the same cultures of the political and
socio-economic systems. These both countries have share in the Somali Land and
they both are two distinctive part of the Somali Region. But if we see the role
of the women in the politics among the countries of Kenya and Ethiopia and in
the region of Somali, the women are less engaged in the politics.
Kenya of the Political Participation and
Decision-Making:
In Kenya, the participation of the women in
the political system is about the percentage of 4.3. The participation of the
Kenyan Woman in the political system of the Kenya is low due to the several
factors. These factors are discussed by the Adhiambo-Oduol in the year 2003. He
has observed some major challenges and has defined some opportunities for the
Kenya women who can participate in the politics. The factors that affect the
women participation in the political systems include the attitudes of the
people, the biasness based on the gender and the socio-cultural beliefs as well
as the stereotypes that are found in the society are the main hindrance for the
women of the Kenya to participate in the political spheres. In Kenya, the
biasness based on the gender is very high, the men are more superior the the
women in the society. The gender inequality is a basic part of the society of
the Kenya and it has become the major part of the socialization. And tis gender
inequality is exposed to the women since their childhood. One more hindrance is
the institutional framework that effects the labor division and the mobility
and the recruitment process in different organizations. The current situation
in the Kenya shows that the women are more vulnerable and have disadvantage and
they are often defined as under value people. In Kenya, the employment rate of
the women is higher than the men, still the income of the Women is much lower than
that of men. A barrier is that the women do not participate much in the
decisions of their personal lives and also in the political and the social
processes. Their lack of participation in the decision making is another
barrier due to which the women cannot participate in the political process in
the society. As in Kenya, most of the men are dominated while making any
decisions, so the rights of the men and their values are more reflected in the
decision making systems.
Thus, the demographic conditions of the Kenya
and the development record and the conditions of the Kenya suggested that the
women should play key role in the decision making. It is observed that most of
the women in Kenya have their votes in the political process but still they are
not allowed to take the leadership positions in the Kenya. In the year 1963,
the participation of women in the electoral politics has been decreased in
order to provide support to the males to become dominant in the political
systems. With the passage of time, new political systems in Kenya are developed
where there is need of the equal participation of both the genders and to
exercise the political powers participation of both the genders is necessary.
In the constitution of Kenya in 1991 a section 2(A) has defined the opportunity
for both the genders and the multi-party democracy and to reactive the civil
society is defined. Furthermore, it was defined that the larger arena for the
politics will be developed for the women so that they can participate in the
politics. Yet still according to the recent surveys, the participation of the
women in the political system is still low (Kasomo, 2012).
