Nigeria pushes for more women in parliament with special seats bill • FRANCE 24 English
Hundreds of women gathered in Nigeria’s capital this week to support efforts to introduce a quota for female legislators. At present, women hold only 4 of 109 Senate seats and 16 of 360 seats in the House of Representatives. The proposed Special Seats Bill would create one additional seat for a woman in both the Senate and the House in each of Nigeria’s 36 states, plus the Federal Capital Territory, as FRANCE 24’s guest Brenda Anugwon, Head of the Nigerian Women’s trust fund, explained.
