Women, Governance and Democratisation in Nigeria and Ghana

"Woman, Governance and Democratisation in Nigeria and Ghana" is a comparative study that examines the role of women in governance and democratization in Nigeria and Ghana. The book highlights the challenges women face as they strive to overcome their marginalized position. It analyzes the past, present, and future perspectives of women in a globalized world where the third feminist wave is gaining significance. The author, Ronke Iyabowale Ako-Nai, explores the commitments of the governments of both countries regarding international agreements and their impact on gender relations. Despite the signing of international treaties, the question remains why women in these two Anglophone countries have not been able to achieve the expected progress. The book provides a comprehensive comparison of the two countries and proposes solutions to combat injustices against women and to promote their participation in political processes and development at all levels, aiming for gender justice and a fair society.
