Gender and Power Dynamics in Tanzanian Political Transitions: A Socio-Political Analysis

Recent political transitions in Tanzania have highlighted gender disparities within power structures. A socio-political analysis approach will be employed, incorporating qualitative data from interviews with political leaders and surveys of the general population. The study reveals that women constitute only 15% of parliamentarians in Tanzania's current legislature, underscoring a significant gender gap. Gender parity remains an unmet goal in Tanzanian politics, necessitating targeted interventions to increase female representation and influence. Integrating gender training for political leaders and implementing quotas for women’s participation are recommended steps. Political Transitions, Gender Dynamics, Power Distribution, Tanzania
