Femmes et pouvoir: quel accès aux sphères de décisions?
Abstract
Despite a little notable progress, women's involvement in politics is
still a marginal phenomenon. In fact, women's true place and weight
in the decision-making process is determined by their position in
social relations, a position which generates sociological contraints
hampering women's access to power. Owing to the sociocultural
prejudices that block women's access to schooling, the presence of
women in the educational sector is slight. The slight access to this
basic social sector restricts seriously their access to jobs and their
participation in the decision-making circle, hence, the slight
representation of women as ministers, members of parliament,
heads of village.
