dc.description.abstractThe fragility of the region in terms of history, religions, and fragmentation along the lines of Anglophone and Francophone, as well as the endemic nature of coup d’états and conflicts, are significant to the evolution of governance structures and (lack of) women’s rights promotion. A comparative framework is developed in this paper, placing West African sub-region countries in a historical context to enable exploration of relevant questions regarding governance, and to locate their meaning in women’s lives. The paper emphasizes the lack of extant literature related to women and governance, and the challenges in creating democratic political institutions that are committed to women’s rightsen
