With Ghana's Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang and Namibia's Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah in key governmental roles, more women leaders emerge across Africa. Women now hold significant positions such as prime ministers in Togo, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Rwanda leads globally with about 60% female representation in parliament, aided by constitutional quotas. Despite progress, women in politics face substantial barriers, including discrimination and financial challenges, highlighting the ongoing struggle for gender parity in political leadership across the continent.
"The presence of women in high governmental positions in Africa marks a significant change in the political landscape, but challenges remain in achieving true gender equality."
"Rwanda's notable progress in women's representation in parliament is primarily driven by the 2003 constitutional quota for women and voluntary party quotas for candidates."
