| dc.description.abstract | African women’s fundamental contributions in their households, food production systems and national economies are increasingly acknowledged, within Africa and by the international community. This is due, in no small part, to African women’s own energetic efforts to organize, articulate their concerns and make their voices heard. The study entitled challenges of women political representation in Rwanda national parliament employed the following objectives; to evaluate the level of women political representation in parliament, examining the effectiveness of women political representation in parliament, and identifying the factors that affect women political representation in parliament. Descriptive ex post-facto method was employed. It involved both qualitative and quantitative data collection. During data analysis, the researcher used tabulation, charts and Chi-square. Relating to evaluating the level of women political representation in parliament, the findings show that the inequality still exists between the number of women and men in parliament. The study concluded that women are exemplary on the work because they contribute more on the government policy achievement even if they are still affected by socio-cultural, political, education, previous experiment, relevant knowledge, marital status and economic factors. It is recommended that, the government of Rwanda should increase the increase the free seats of women ( at least 4O% of seats) because until now the percentage of women are still low than the one for men. MIGEWD, should ask the government to set new constitution which are more favorite to women. Rwandan women parliamentary should do the proper gender advocacy in all politics level as is the one of their mission in order to increase the number of women in all levels. | en_US |
