Women in Niger are African women who live in or are from the Western African country known as Niger. These women belong to a population in which 98% are practitioners of Islam. Most of the laws adopted by the government of Niger to protect the rights of Nigerien women are most of the time based on Muslim beliefs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://insideislam.wisc.edu/regions-and-themes/africa/islam-and-women-in-niger/ )〕 Among the women of Niger are the Hausa women,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://worldwidefistulafund.org/about-fistula/the-women-of-niger/ )〕 the Wodaabe women, the Fulani women, the Zarma–Songhai women, the Gourmantche women, the Kanuri women, the Diffa Arab women, the Toubou women, and the Tuareg women. Hausa women of Niger can be identified by their dressing codes in which they wear wrappers called ''abaya'' made with colorful cloth with a matching blouse, head tie and shawl. A public holiday in Niger known as the National Day of Nigerien Women (''Journée nationale de la femme nigérienne'') held annually on the 13th of May, commemorates a 1992 march by women in Niamey during the National Conference period, demanding greater involvement of women in national institutions. It is a holiday that became a "National Commemoration" on 25 November 1992.〔(Commémoration de la Journée nationale de la femme: "Hommes et Femmes, tous unis, pour une meilleure représentation des femmes aux instances de prise de décisions", thème de la Journée ). Ousmane Fatouma Saley, Le Sahel. 12 May 2009.〕 It is estimated that over one third of Nigerien women are in polygamous unions. == See also == * Polygamy in Niger * Human trafficking in Niger 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Women in Niger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
