ABSTRACT
This investigation showed that in northern Nigerian politics, class, religion, and ethnicity have all played a dominant role, and that women's interests and gender issues have been marginalized as a result of involvement. It discussed the existence and severity of gender inequality in Nigeria as the impetus behind the development of the National Policy on Women, including its politics and content. The NPW came into being as a result of intersecting, though widely disparate, indigenous and international feminist/womanist demands and social inclusion movements. Without a question, women in northern Nigeria continue to be severely underrepresented in all aspects of society. When the ratio of males to women in politics and decisionmaking positions is contrasted, this is more obvious now. The low representation of women in politics has been attributed to a number of factors, including sociocultural practices, a lack of funding and women's empowerment, religious discrimination, a lack of political funding, illiteracy and inadequate education, marginalization in political party structures, patriarchal environments, early marriages, and stereotypical limitations.
