Women Quotas and Power Dimensions

Unmasking Gender Inequalities andPower Struggles During the 2010 Elections in South Sudan

About this book

In 2010, South Sudan held its first-ever elections, an event that marked a pivotal moment in the region's political history. In a striking development, women secured 32 per cent of parliamentary seats, made possible by the adoption of a gender quota system designed to give women a voice in shaping the nation's future. Women, Quotas, and Power Dimensions delves into the untold story of how gender quotas were introduced in South Sudan during a time of political transition and social upheaval. Drawing from her doctoral research, Dr. Angelina Mattijo-Bazugba unmasks the power struggles that shaped this historic moment. Enriched by the lived experiences of the women who helped forge a new political path, this book reveals what it really took for the women of South Sudan to claim their place at the table.
