尼日利亚各团体主张在议会中增加182个新的妇女席位, 以便在16年内将代表比例从4.2%提高到25%。 Nigerian groups push for 182 new women’s seats in parliament to boost representation from 4.2% to 25% over 16 years.

尼日利亚民间社会团体和妇女领导人正在敦促第十届国民议会通过《妇女保留席位法案》,该法案将增加182个临时席位,以增加妇女在国家和州立法机构中的代表人数。 Nigerian civil society groups and women leaders are urging the 10th National Assembly to pass the Reserved Seats for Women Bill, which would add 182 temporary seats to increase female representation in national and state legislatures. 妇女目前只占立法席位的4.2%——在469个立法席位中有21个——该法案旨在解决系统性代表性不足、文化障碍和基于性别的暴力问题。 With women currently holding just 4.2% of legislative seats—21 out of 469—the bill aims to address systemic underrepresentation, cultural barriers, and gender-based violence. 包括政府官员和国际伙伴在内的倡导者们说,这一措施对于包容性治理和更强有力的政策成果至关重要,并指出尼日利亚是非洲妇女政治参与程度最低的国家之一。 Advocates, including government officials and international partners, say the measure is essential for inclusive governance and stronger policy outcomes, noting that Nigeria ranks among Africa’s lowest in women’s political participation. 该法案需要宪法修正和24个州批准,将保留16年,以建设妇女的政治能力。 The bill, requiring constitutional amendment and approval by 24 states, would remain in place for 16 years to build women’s political capacity.
