Gueye Pens Article in Africa is a Country

Dr. Marame Gueye published an article on the low representation of women in Senegal’s new government and the glamorizing of polygamy in the online site — Africa Is a Country.

In the article, Gueye writes, ” For women, who constitute 49.4 % of the Senegalese population, this change is a backward move, stepping over their rights gained during years of struggle for equality in this hetero-patriarchal majority Muslim country.”

Africa Is a Country is a site of opinion, analysis, and new writing on and from the African left. It was founded by Sean Jacobs in 2009.
