Chapter One of Gender and Justice System in Nigeria (2012 – 2018)
Abstract of Gender and Justice System in Nigeria (2012 – 2018)
The purpose of this study is to examine the gender and justice system in Nigeria. Descriptive technique using quantitative analysis method was adopted and 100 employees of the Ministry of Women Affairs Ikeja, Lagos State was selected as respondents. Findings revealed that revealed that there are adequate regulations ensuring gender rights in Nigeria but gender rights are not effectively implemented in Nigeria. Also, the justice system, religious and traditional doctrines in Nigeria have not been promoting gender equality appropriately. The study however recommends that the civil society organizations including non-governmental organisations (NGOs) should advocate for girl-child education in order to curb the level of illiteracy among women, as research has proven that a low-level of women’s education strengthens gender inequality.
