When Hens Begin To Crow

More about the book

Exploring the dynamics of women's political participation in Uganda, this study draws on extensive interviews with parliamentarians, NGO members, and rural residents. It highlights how women have navigated Uganda's patriarchal landscape to empower themselves through legislative strategies. The author critically examines the effects of presidential affirmative action on women's representation, contrasting it with grassroots movements. While centered on Uganda, the insights offered are applicable to broader discussions of democracy and development in various global contexts.
