M. 0. Bakare, M. O. Asuquo, A. O. Agomoh.


Abstract
ABSTRACT
Female population accounted for more than half of Nigerian population and they experienced gender based social injustices that prevented full exploration of their potentials. One of these social injustices is domestic violence against women. The problem of violence against women in Nigeria had not been given adequate attention both at the individual and government levels. This article did a general review of the present state of situation as regards domestic violence against women in an African sub-culture society like Nigeria. It explored the
religious influences vis-a-vis the gender roles imposed on women by African culture and practices and the role of Nigerian government so far. It also
proposed the way forward in mitigating domestic violence against women in Nigeria.

Key words: Key Words: Nigerian Women, Domestic Violence, Review.
