Women In Local Self-Government: A Rural Perspective

Abstract

Women’s participation in rural administration involves their active engagement in leadership, governance, and decision-making at the village and local levels. This involvement is essential for promoting inclusive development, social equity, and effective grassroots democracy. In rural areas, Local Self-Government (LSG) institutions play a critical role in managing day-to-day affairs, as decisions made at this level directly influence the provision of essential services and the overall well-being of the community.
