1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
It
is obvious that large family size is no more desirable of the
increasing rate of poverty, illiteracy and poor heath due to the effect
of domestic violence in gender inequality and socio cultural belief
system is one of the major consequences ,which implies that social
cultural belief are the major constraints for. Domestic violence among
gender in Nigeria.
In addition to this between half and two thirds of
Nigerian women are subject to domestic violence in their homes.
Domestic violence affects all social groups and can consist of physical,
sexual and psychological abuse. Although men can also be affected by
domestic violence, women suffer disproportionately (Leonie Taylor
Article 14 March 2012 - 11:4Sam)
This trend occurs across much of the
world, but Nigeria's discriminatory laws and dismissive police compound
its particularly high rate of domestic ·violence. Most potently, its
prevalent culture of silence and stigma for the victims of domestic
violence hinders' public acknowledgement of the problem. There is an
urgent need to challenge the social prejudices and institutional
structures in order to protect it women, not just from danger, but also
from ridicule fear and isolation.
"On a daily basis, Nigerian women
are beaten, raped and even murdered by members of their family for
supposed transgressions, which I Call range from not having meals ready
on time to visiting family members without their husband's permission,"
adding that "husbands, partners I and fathers are responsible for most
of the violence". (Stephane Mikala, Deputy Director of Amnesty
International's Africa program)
Although
more widespread in acid attacks I on women which cause extreme pain,
disfigurement and can be fatal, have also been on the rise in Nigeria,
and. have failed to be taken seriously as an offence by the Nigerian
authorities. This is most of the problem of domestic violence that "will
be treated. (Channels Television July 01, 2013)
