Gender Communication: African Universities and the Empowerment of Women for Leadership
Abstract
The history of missing, invisible, marginalised and violated women is long in Africa including Nigeria. However, there is no country in the world where women have achieved full equality, thus this paper examines gender issues through gender communication as well as gender disparities in higher education. In addition, the paper examines Africa, gender gaps and the role of universities in narrowing these gaps. Specific recommendations are made in the area of facilitating women’s growth and equality as well as creating awareness that promotes young women academics on a more sustainable basis.
Keywords: Gender Communication; Marginalisation; Discrimination; Empowerment; and Leadership.
