Women’s political empowerment as a tool to combat corruption
Abstract
Gender equality, women's political participation is at the top of international attention. Within this context, the hypothesis that women are an effective political force against corruption was indicated and emphasized as a global phenomenon because they are less involved in it, and therefore the political empowerment of women by increasing their participation in political life will reduce levels of corruption in society. This is the "fairer sex hypothesis" that it adopted by The World Bank, which identified gender equality as an important tool to curb the emergence of corruption in 2001. this paper tested this hypothesis, its foundations, and the extent of its application and results achieved.
