dc.descriptionWomen account for about 49 per cent of global and national population, yet their access to political decision making power is low. This is owing to some hegemonic perception of what should constitute sex roles in the society which invariably undermine the women folk. The study aims at investigating citizens’ perception towards the roles of men and women in the political process. Adopting a mixed method of data collection, the study sample was put at 600 covering three senatorial districts in Enugu state, Nigeria. Results indicate citizens’ non support for women active participation in politics. Some of their perception ranges from men and women should not participate equally in politics, politics should solely be men’s business, and majority of women who go into politics are irresponsible among others. The paper recommends for citizens’ change in orientation to allow women access to governance and use of quota to enhance women’s presence in governance for better legislation and national development.en-US
