Femme et politique au Tchad : cas du parlement et du gouvernement (1962-2018)

Abstract

This study entitled “Women and politics in Chad: case of parliament and government (1962-2018)”.The main question underlying this analysis is the following: have Chadian women been validly represented in parliament as ell in the government of their country since independence? This being said, this study aims to assess the achievements of Chadian women in political life in Chad. She analyzes the situation of Chadian women in parliament and government in the era of one-party politics, demonstrates the emergence of the political emancipation of Chadian women since the establishment of democracy in 1990, identifies policies related to women and their level of implementation in Chad, examines the policy of the parity quota as a strategy for involving a large number of women in political life. To evaluate the achievements of the Chadian woman, several sources were essential, it is about those written, iconographic, oral and the invited approach is the diachrony. The method used made it possible to obtain the results according to which despite the clarity of the fundamental law which says that Chadians of both sexes have the same rights and the same duties, they are equal before the law. For a long time, the woman was excluded from the decision-making sphere, as well particularly in parliament and government. This is explained, among other things, by the weight of tradition and unfavorable politics. Indeed, the woman is considered as an inferior being. In addition to this situation, the politico-institutional context marked by wars and political violence has hardly favored the emergence of women in politics. It is clear that even in the exercise of political activity, women continue to be victims of discrimination; hence the imperative need to support women's political action by institutionalizing the quota system in the electoral lists, by financing women, or by helping them to organize their political campaign.
