The Concept of Women’s Rights in Nigeria

The rights of Nigerian women are clearly spelt out in the Nigerian Constitution and in the various International Treaties ratified by Nigeria. Yet, in spite of the fact that these rights are entrenched in the various laws, women are still deprived even of their basic human rights. This paper critically examines the question of women’s rights and nature of abuse in Nigeria, and articulates the rationale for and ways in which these rights can be given full effect.
