Gender Inequality: Nigerian and International Perspectives

Abstract

The issue of gender discrimination continues to be witnessed in our society on daily basis despite the magnitude of existing legal framework coupled with the activities of the civil society groups. This paper examined some of the factors responsible for gender bias and discrimination with particular reference to Nigeria from cultural, religious and other perspectives. It also examined some national and international statutory provisions protective of women as well as the activities of the Non-Governmental Organizations. It is the finding of this author that the problem of gender discrimination can not be solved by measures taken within the criminal justice sectors (or legal machineries) alone but by a combination of approaches.
