Abstract

 

Ethiopia not only has signed international conventions related to the rights of women, but it is also taking positive and affirmative actions to facilitate legal grounds for their active involvement in various sectors. However, the number of women in parliament was increased when fourth election was held in the country, but their number was not equal with men. But, post 2018, more than any other time, the government of Ethiopia is exerting the maximum effort to realize the equality of men and women. Currently, under reformist prime minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed, Ethiopia government announced new cabinets that are 50% females, in an unprecedented push for gender parity in Africa’s second-most-populous nation. Ethiopian Parliament recently approved first female president not for Ethiopia, for the East African country’s history.
