Abstract

Political participation among women is a significant and dynamic concept. It fosters feelings of satisfaction, trust, and self-confidence among women in any society. This study aims to understand and analyze the barriers and opportunities for Women&rsquo, s political participation in Khorramabad city. The research employed a qualitative, Grounded Theory approach. To this end, in-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 women from Khorramabad and university professors, selected through purposive sampling combined with snowball and maximum variation strategies. Data analysis yielded 95 initial codes, eight core categories, and one central category extracted through a systematic coding process: causal conditions (patriarchal atmosphere and male exclusivity, economic challenges: lack of economic empowerment, political apathy: perceiving politics as insignificant), contextual conditions (strengthening social capital: solidarity and political development, self-confidence: personal development and social status), intervening conditions (self-deprecation and personal weakness, lack of willpower, low self-esteem, challenges related to morale and determination), strategies (positive and negative, creating gender-equal opportunities for political participation, financial and social support, fostering a vibrant political atmosphere), attitudinal dimensions (ranging from willingness to participate and satisfaction to isolation and political apathy), and consequences (enhancing solidarity, social and political cohesion, strengthening social capital, promoting socio-political vibrancy, active public political participation, building trust and self-confidence in women, maximizing the use of skilled human resources, socio-political development, increasing socio-cultural security, and boosting social trust). Additionally, "Women&rsquo, s political participation: opportunities and challenges" emerged as the central category, and a paradigmatic model was developed from the data. The findings indicate that Women&rsquo, s political participation or lack thereof varies depending on diverse social, structural, and individual conditions.
