Abstract: This was a very hopeful story for someone like me who thinks the education for women is the most solution because - although it will take some time to realize "femocrats" and universalize it across the continent of Africa - the education changes women's thought and let them more actively face numerous problems from which women have suffered. Olujobi introduces such optimistic cases that are happening in Africa.
A recent World Bank reserach submits that numerous behavioral studies have found women to be more trust-worthy and public-spirited than men. Consistent with this hypothesis, it has been found that the greater the representation of women in parliament, the lower the level of corruption.
-> Would this be a biological difference between women and men? Or is this a temporal phenomenon only because women have not yet enjoyed obtaining political control as men have?
The world's parliamentary body with the biggest share of women is found in Rwanda, where women hold 48.8% of the seats.
Corruption reduces national budget resources. It also reduces the amount of public spening on health and social security, for instance, which affects women disproportionately.
Many say it is the dawn of the new day for Africa' democracy and governance.
"Femocracy" - democracy headed by women - nurtures, mothers, wives, sister,s daughters and granmothers like Mama Ellen Sirleaf (the current president of Republic of Liberia)
Liberia is Africa's oldest republic.
