dc.description.abstractWorldwide, especially in Africa and in many domains, women face numerous obstacles to achieving sound and fulfilled lives. They are seen as objects for men's pleasure. In most communities. they are considered as weak beings. They are voiceless and less consulted in decision-making. They are oppressed and denied their rights, for example, the right to education. This has adversely affected the participation of women in politics. In terms of political participation, women are hardly anywhere to be seen equal to men. However, the concept of politics as it is understood in most contemporary societies derives from the exercise of power in the public realm. Therefore, individual and group involvement constitute the essence of political activity. Moreover, all over the world, the public political domain for many centuries has been and continues to be defined and controlled by men. Concerned about the absence of women from established political structures, many scholars have tried to account for this phenomenon. Many in Western societies have referred this to the forces of patriarchy, capitalism and industrialization that have kept women out of the public sphere, confining their work to the family and to the low prestige occupations.' Those who focused on the socialist world argue that Marx was wrong in assuming that women would achieve political equality with men when the means of production were owned collectively. As long as nations continue oppressive traditions and pursue policies aimed at keeping women primarily responsible for the family, gender equality in political and other spheres will not be achieveden_US
