Abstract
This study uses a survey design to facilitate the aim of understanding the Constitutional Framework that Supports Women's Participation and Representation in Legislation in The Gambia. The study adopts a mixed approach to discuss the issues of women’s participation and representation in parliament. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Findings from the study suggest that a majority of participants share a sense of doubt or pessimism regarding the prospect of achieving gender parity in parliamentary representation. The findings underscore the need for continued efforts to address the Constitutional Framework that Supports Women's Participation and Representation in Legislation in The Gambia. Affirmative Action such as party quotas seems far away. The study herewith, recommends thus: Political parties should provide enabling fair play environment for women to participate in the democratisation process in The Gambia, thus, the concept of politics among women should be corrected through proper awareness campaigns to educate women on the need to understand that the negative concept of politics must be corrected and negative stereotype of women dampens their morale and thereby affects their zeal to participate in politics.
