In Nigeria, the experience of running for office is vastly different for women compared to their male counterparts. Women often have to contend with prejudice and stereotypes that question their ability to lead.
In this episode, we explore the history of women in politics and governance in Nigeria before democracy, as well as the current landscape and barriers for women, through insights from Solape Sonuga, Policy and Strategic Partnerships Manager at ElectHer. Additionally, through the story of Benue State politician, Sewuese Bem, we explore what it's like for a young woman vying for space in the political arena. Sewuese shares her experiences running for the Benue State House of Assembly elections in 2019, as well as her 2023 campaign for a seat in the Federal House of Representatives.
