Women’s Day special: African women in politics

There have been some gains in the political realm for women politicians in Africa as shown in the Kenya elections last fall and in the 2020 Ghana elections, where the first-ever women running mates were appointed as one of the two main presidential candidates. Although neither woman won, their appointments are considered a step forward. But many hurdles remain. In this podcast we discuss these issues with Diana Højlund Madsen: Senior researcher at NA ,Mandiedza Parichi lecturer in Midlands University in Gweru and Shilla Sintoyia Memusi, Policy Analyst with a PhD from University of Bayreuth.
