“…Part of the consequences of normative masculinity is the valorization and justification of the attributes of maleness (Kimmel, 2005). According to Chuki and Turner (2017) the hegemonic status of men in the society has given rise to 'a global political model which is male dominant, male-identified and male-centred'. Through socialization and the gendered allocation of roles in the society, women are assigned the private sphere which entails taking care of the home and the family while men are assigned the public sphere which entails running the affairs of the society (Mtinsto, 1999:33-51).…”

The birth of the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa otherwise known as Maputo Protocol was meant to overcome the shortcomings of the African Charter on Human Rights. Despite Nigeria’s ratification of the protocol, little concrete achievements have been recorded. This study situates the right of Nigerian women to participate in political and decision-making process under the Maputo Protocol in the context of normative and hegemonic barriers in the country. Using analytical methodology, the paper argues that the underrepresentation of Nigerian women in public governance is a negation of human rights. The domestication of the Protocol is recommended.

“…For example, the introduction of formal gender equality by colonists generated hostile reactions from the native elites who reacted to this alien interference by reviving patriarchal norms, thus restricting women’s political agency (Ghosh, 2004). Existing studies highlight the historical and cultural framing of election misogyny in these regions (Chuki and Turner, 2017; Diabah and Appiah Amfo, 2015; Forooqi, 2018; Salam, 2021). Thus, misogyny in the Global South has its specificities even as it shares several characteristics with the misogyny experienced by female politicians in the Global North and has to be analysed accordingly.…”

This article examines misogynist comments on women politicians as part of the campaign discourse for the 2019 General Elections in India. The objective is to understand and critically examine the broad patterns of misogynist discourse during election times and the socio-cognitive interface that enables such misogyny. Using a Critical-Feminist-Socio-Cognitive-Discourse Analysis, which combines Lazar’s Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis and Van Dijk’s Socio-Cognitive Approach, we analyse the explicit stating and implied underpinnings of 22 misogynist comments and identify 4 broad patterns and 8 sub-patterns. We argue that, while sharing similarities with global patterns and stereotypes of misogyny, election misogyny in India originates in socio-cognitive and cultural tropes unique to its patriarchal society. When reproduced in misogynist verbal attacks directed at female politicians, these historically rooted misogynist tropes further reinforce the dominant patriarchal culture and add to the attempts to delegitimize Indian women’s political representation and agency.
