Download or read book Exploring Karkara Women s and Adolescent Girls Perceptions Toward Leadership Positions as A Vector of Empowerment written by Halima Therese Gbaguidi Adolphe and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women's advancement and inclusion in society have been on the rise in many nations, but some countries still have not made significant improvements. The Niger Republic is one country in West Africa where gender inequality is still prevalent in contemporary times. Women and girls, particularly in the country's Karkara communities, have faced decades of gender discrimination due to unequal access to critical social and natural resources, educational opportunities, and services. This inequality has prevented them from participating fully in society and the decision-making process, attaining leadership positions, and learning skills crucial to their well-being. As a result of these gender disparities, few women hold leadership positions in the male-dominated sectors of society. In the Republic of Niger, since independence in 1960 to the present day, much ink has been spilled about the issue of women's involvement in leadership positions/roles. Women are constantly absent, misrepresented, and often excluded across different societal spheres. A recent report from the United Nations Development Program ranked Niger 154 out of 162 countries in terms of the Gender Inequality Index (UNDP, 2020), highlighting the stark inequalities facing women. The government has made progress in enhancing women's participation in many sectors, including the implementation in 2001 of the Quota Act (Alidou & Alidou, 2008). However, there is still persistent inequality in women's positions. Yet, despite its critical importance, the Quota Law has barely been respected since its inception, and even less, it does not necessarily apply to women and young girls in rural areas who are non-literate or without higher education. This inequality has prevented them from participating fully in society, attaining leadership positions, and learning skills crucial to their well-being. As a result of these gender disparities, few women hold leadership positions in the male-dominated sectors of society. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by 193 countries across the globe (including Niger) in September 2015. These goals continue the work begun by the Millennium Development Goals, which were established in 2000 (United Nations, 2015). As part of the original Millennium Development Goals, women's empowerment and gender equality remained fundamental elements. A more sustainable world begins with gender equality as a fundamental human right. Gender equality also supports economic growth, peace, prosperity, and a stronger economy, hence the importance of this study. Currently, there is a dearth of published literature on rural women and girls in Niger, making it quite difficult to ascertain the nuanced situation of the inequalities faced by women and girls. Moreover, there is limited literature on leadership, especially regarding rural women and girls, which is critical to the conversations on advancing women in society. Therefore, this qualitative case study explores how rural women and girls view leadership within their community and how that can contribute to their empowerment. In other words, the study examines how Karkara women and adolescent girls perceive leadership as a vector of empowering them and future generations. The study focuses particularly on rural women and girls in three rural areas within the region of Tahoua in Niger. Findings show that leadership can be a vector to empowerment and that participants' influence in leadership roles is exhibited in diverse ways, such as their involvement in women's groups or associations, the community and within their household.

Download or read book Voice and Agency written by Jeni Klugman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent advances in important aspects of the lives of girls and women, pervasive challenges remain. These challenges reflect widespread deprivations and constraints and include epidemic levels of gender-based violence and discriminatory laws and norms that prevent women from owning property, being educated, and making meaningful decisions about their own lives--such as whether and when to marry or have children. These often violate their most basic rights and are magnified and multiplied by poverty and lack of education. This groundbreaking book distills vast data and hundreds of studies to shed new light on deprivations and constraints facing the voice and agency of women and girls worldwide, and on the associated costs for individuals, families, communities, and global development. The volume presents major new findings about the patterns of constraints and overlapping deprivations and focuses on several areas key to women s empowerment: freedom from violence, sexual and reproductive health and rights, ownership of land and housing, and voice and collective action. It highlights promising reforms and interventions from around the world and lays out an urgent agenda for governments, civil society, development agencies, and other stakeholders, including a call for greater investment in data and knowledge to benchmark progress.
