GENDER, POLITICS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON SOCIO-SOCIETAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The Female folk have over the years lagged behind in politics, not withstanding their numerical strength. The world's conferences of women in Mexico in 1975; Copenhagen in 1980, Narobi in 1985, and Beijing in 1995, organized by the United Nations have no maximal effects or impacts on the total number of women's involvement/representation in decision making the world over. This study is an examination of the effects of female's misrepresentation/under-representation in politics on the socio- societal development of the Country, with focus on Akwa Ibom State Civil Service. Related literatures were reviewed and liberal feminist theory was used as the theoretical framework. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design and the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected from 260 respondents through the use of questionnaire and determined via the Taro Yamane, while the simple percentage was used as a method of data analysis. Findings from the study revealed that, poor representation/ involvement of the women folk in politics has negative effects on the socio-economic or socio-cultural development of the society. The study recommends that, concrete policies/laws should be enacted and adopted for female's proper involvement/representation in politics and decision making. Stereotyping cultural norms should be abolished and women should be sponsored to get involved in politics.
