Background of the Study
Grassroots campaigns play a crucial role in political engagement, particularly in areas where traditional forms of campaigning, such as rallies and advertisements, may not be as effective. In Birnin Kebbi LGA, Kebbi State, grassroots campaigns focusing on women’s mobilization have been increasingly important in enhancing political participation among women (Sadiya & Ahmad, 2023). Women’s involvement in politics in rural areas like Birnin Kebbi has been historically low, but recent efforts to engage women at the community level have led to increased political awareness and involvement (Abubakar & Musa, 2023). This study explores the effect of grassroots campaigns, with a particular focus on women’s mobilization, in shaping political engagement in Birnin Kebbi LGA.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While grassroots campaigns have been identified as essential for increasing political engagement, the specific impact of women’s mobilization in Birnin Kebbi LGA remains under-researched.

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of grassroots campaigns in promoting women’s political engagement in Birnin Kebbi LGA.
