SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Gender quotas have been adopted in Sub-Saharan African countries in an effort to address gender inequality in political involvement. However, the potential effects of gender quotas have been dividing scholars ever since the existence of these quotas. Citizen women's accounts on the subject remain largely understudied, even though women are the group that the measure is trying to further the political representation of, and are the first to witness the repercussions of gender quotas. That is why, for this research, I choose to adopt women citizen's point of view to examine the effects that followed the implementation of the Law on Parity in Senegal on women's empowerment. To conduct this research, I used a mixed method of discourse analysis, with semi-structured interviews with ten Senegalese women citizens, and survey analysis of Afrobarometer data from 2005 to 2018. The study finds that gender quotas do enhance gender equality through multiple effects, the most predominant of which is the capacity to elevate women's perceptions of their own ability to lead. The study also recognizes the resilience of patriarchal and clientelistic norms that impede female political empowerment. However, ordinary women's discourse discloses a practice among those elected by quotas that provides ways for women to counter patriarchal norms in politics.
