Abstract

Since return to Nigeria to civilian administration in 1999, women have been making efforts to access political leadership space with little progress. With international and national instruments to ensure more women gain inroad into politics, there is a dismal record in this aspect. Anchoring the paper on theory of political participation, the paper explored the possibility of gender depoliticisation through the involvement of young women in politics. Desk research method which utilised secondary sources of data collection was employed. The paper argued that in spite of the fact that young women are involved in activism,they are grossly underrepresented in political leadership. Culture, political acrimony, stigmatisation, religion, lack of finance, political violence, etc., constitute barriers to young women representation in politics. The paper contended that there is always political inequality between women and men, particularly among the youngest generations. The paper concluded that young women are at risk of not being included and favourably considered in the decision making process, as non-participation in politics poses a threat to their gender's dignified existence in the body polity. It recommended that socio-economic barriers including culture, religion, patriarchal belief, political acrimony, insecurity, etc., should be addressed. Empowerment should start from the family to re-orientate on the social barriers affecting young women participation in leadership positions. Girl-child education needs prioritisation to develop potentials, particularly contribution in decision making process at all levels of governance, among others.

Abstract

Boko Haram insurgency in the North East Nigeria has posed significant challenges to the protection of children's rights.  Adopting the child right- based theory, the paper investigated how Boko Haram insurgency violated children’s rights in the region. Desk research method which relied on secondary sources was employed.  It argued that insurgency by Boko Haram sect violated children’s rights in the region in form of recruitment of child soldiers, sexual violence, abduction, denial of access to education and healthcare. The paper discusses the causes of the conflict, including poverty, marginalization, lack of access to education and economic opportunities, as well as their implications for children's rights. The paper also assesses the response of the Nigerian government and the international community to the crisis, including military operations against Boko Haram, efforts to rehabilitate and reintegrate former child soldiers, and initiatives to promote peace, reconciliation, and development in the region. While acknowledging some progress in addressing the crisis, the paper highlights ongoing challenges, including the need for greater protection of children's rights, increased access to education and healthcare, and addressing the root causes of the conflict. It recommended protection mechanisms, promoting peace and reconciliation, and addressing the underlying factors driving insurgency in order to ensure the realization of children's rights in the region
