Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Media plays a pivotal role in shaping public opinion and advancing societal change. In the context of women’s participation in politics, media serves as a powerful tool for advocacy, awareness creation, and empowerment. In Wamakko LGA, where cultural and social norms often limit women’s political engagement, the media's role becomes even more crucial. By highlighting female political achievements, addressing gender biases, and promoting inclusivity, the media can challenge stereotypes and foster a more equitable political landscape (Abdullahi & Umar, 2023).
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite significant strides in gender equality, women’s political participation in Wamakko LGA remains disproportionately low. The underrepresentation of women in political offices is exacerbated by societal norms, lack of awareness, and limited media advocacy. This study examines how the media can promote women's participation in politics and the barriers that hinder its effectiveness.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
- To assess the role of media in promoting women’s participation in politics in Wamakko LGA.
- To identify media strategies that effectively advocate for women’s political empowerment.

- What role does the media play in promoting women’s participation in politics in Wamakko LGA?

- H0: The media has no significant influence on women’s participation in politics in Wamakko LGA.

- H2: Addressing media challenges enhances its role in promoting women’s political inclusion.
1.6 Significance of the Study
This study highlights the transformative potential of media in addressing gender disparities in political participation. The findings offer practical recommendations for media practitioners, policymakers, and advocacy groups to enhance women’s political empowerment in Wamakko LGA and beyond.
