Partly as a result of its initiatives and efforts, countries have introduced legislation that endorses its spirit. These efforts have been important in addressing the gender gap; however, the means of articulating these legislative measures and implementing them vary from country to another. This article focuses on the textual formulation of the Quota Bill (2001) in Niger and how secularist and Islamist political elite women responded to it during the debate that led to its legal adoption. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1692 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1713 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.2979/AFT.2008.54.3.20 10.2979/AFT.2008.54.3.20 bibo:issue 3 bibo:pageEnd 36 bibo:pageStart 21 bibo:volume 54 --
