Aminata Bilkisu Kanu, the first woman to run for parliament from her district, is fighting to increase the country’s low levels of female representation. Previous research has shown that gender quotas, such as the one implemented in Sierra Leone, can increase diversity, experience and class, as well as shifting budget priorities.
