Abstract

Generally, democracy entails concepts such as rule of law, equality, fairness, and human rights, among others. Hence, democratic system of government presents a strong ground for the pursuance of women’s equality and inclusion in political participation. Women’s Political Participation in Nigeria has witnessed a lot of twists and turns especially since the period of 1999 to 2019. While much had been achieved, though with unstable progress, there are still many new grounds to be covered. Rhetorically, Nigerian democratic system of government made provisions for equal political participation, but in reality, the level of inequality which exists between women and men’s political participation is quite alarming. Nigerian women had suffered low representation in political participation based on so many challenges that are either visible or invisible. The invisible challenges are embedded in the social construct of the Nigerian society. Therefore, this chapter focuses on the socio-construction of the Nigerian society as it relates to women in politics. The aspect of stereotyped gender roles based on Socio Construct Theory will be engaged in the analysis of the recent unsustainable progress of women in the Nigerian politics.
