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.
