Background of the Study
Women’s political advocacy groups play a pivotal role in promoting gender equality and increasing women’s representation in political processes (Aminu & Salihu, 2023). In Kano Municipal Local Government Area, Kano State, women’s advocacy groups have been instrumental in raising awareness about the importance of women’s participation in politics and mobilizing support for female candidates (Abubakar & Ibrahim, 2024). These groups work to address challenges such as cultural biases, limited access to political resources, and lack of representation in decision-making positions (Tijjani & Mohammed, 2025). While their efforts have led to some progress, questions remain about the effectiveness of these advocacy groups in translating their efforts into tangible political outcomes for women.
