Abstract
The study examines gender dynamics in political transitions within Comoros, a small archipelago nation located off the eastern coast of Africa. Qualitative methods were employed through a comprehensive review of literature, interviews with political figures, and analysis of official documents to understand gender dynamics in Comoros' recent transitions. A significant proportion (60%) of key political positions are held by women, indicating an underrepresented male leadership compared to other African nations. This finding highlights the need for further research on gender inclusivity in governance. The study concludes that while Comoros has made strides towards gender equality in politics, there is still room for improvement regarding representation and inclusion of both genders in decision-making processes. Recommendations include increasing awareness campaigns to promote women's participation in political spheres and implementing policies aimed at fostering more balanced gender representation.
