dc.description.abstract | The research explored how political parties and women in Parliament are supporting young women’s political participation, as well as the extent to which the state is implementing Article 14 of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) to influence the political participation of young rural women. The general election in 2014 marked twenty years since the first multi-party elections in Malawi. The country is predominantly rural and the majority of women are rural based (86%), hindering their political participation. The national government neglects women’s interests, meanwhile there are a few rural initiatives led by women. | en |
