1.1 Background of the Study
Women’s participation in politics is a crucial factor in achieving gender equality and strengthening democracy. In Jos South Local Government, Plateau State, women’s involvement in local governance and political activities has been growing, but challenges such as cultural barriers, lack of political education, and insufficient support structures persist. This study will evaluate the level of grassroots political participation among women in Jos South.

Despite efforts to encourage women’s participation in politics, traditional norms and other socio-cultural factors hinder their full engagement in political activities. This study seeks to investigate the factors affecting women’s grassroots political participation in Jos South.
