Abstract
Regardless of legal frameworks and human rights-based approaches, many structural and other challenges frustrate effective participation of women in political processes in Sudanese society, made more ubiquitous in post conflict countries, and often characterised by political cutthroat rivalry and competition for power and wealth. Based on this study, recommendations are made towards improving the quality of women’s representation and political participation, for instance: all states’ assemblies should be empowered to enact local government electoral laws such that local councils have 25% quota for women.
