Women are Africa's Political Hope

Emira Woods and Lisa VeneKlasen of FPIF write:

The African political landscape is being reshaped by women, generating hope for the future of the continent and raising the bar for democracy worldwide...Governments have set concrete targets for women's participation in political bodies. The newly formed Pan African Parliament has also implemented affirmative-action measures to ensure a minimum of 30 percent representation by women, all of whom have been elected to office in their countries.But African women's rising power is measured not just in numbers. In Liberia, the same women who bore the brunt of the country's more than two decades of war are the ones leading the struggle for peace and carving out a new economic and political path.
