Violence Against Widows
Research on women's experiences of harmful cultural widowhood practices is limited even among feminists. The present study seeks to address this lacuna by qualitatively examining the accounts of 12 women survivors of violent widowhood rites in Nigeria. Participants took part in one-to-one interviews, and an interpretative phenomenological analysis identified four major themes of participants' experiences. A variety of experiences in terms of natu…
“We Can’t Work With Them, We Can’t Work Without Them”
Previous studies posited that survivors of rape receive better treatment from the police when advocates are involved and the police embrace collaboration. However, the collaborative relationship between the Nigerian police and rape victim advocates has yet to receive scholarly attention. To address this, a qualitative study was conducted, with 24 police officers of sexual offense units in six Police Commands, and 50 rape victim advocates from 28 …
Policing rape and serious sexual offences in Nigeria
The article explores the lived experiences of investigative police officers in managing rape and serious sexual offences (RASSO) in Nigeria, a developing country with a conservative patriarchal system and deep-rooted rape culture. A qualitative study involving 24 sexual crime-investigating police officers of six states’ police commands in southwest Nigeria was conducted, and a thematic analysis of the narratives was carried out.

To date, literature on vulnerabilities of children and prevention of child sexual abuse (CSA) has relied on the contributions of child-care professionals, health practitioners, and other social workers, excluding police officers. The purpose of this study is to draw on the experiences and expert opinions of police officers in exploring the vulnerabilities of children to sexual abuse and prescribing preventive measures. Officers’ engagement is pre…
Modernity and changing family values in Nigeria
The family as a social institution has undergone changes occasioned by modernity; these changes have positive and negative implications. The family inculcates virtues, values, morals, ethics, and beliefs that define and shape the behaviours of members of society. Modernity is the vehicle that drives progress and development, yet it has brought changes that have altered family values and consequently hampered effective parenting in Nigeria. This p…
Unequal yoke
Slavery is a historical reality of most societies in Africa. Lately, there has been an outcry on the resurgence of slavery with modern trends that include religious slavery which has become the fad of many clergies, who utilize their privileged positions, capitalizing on the gullibility and desperation of members to exploit them in the bourgeoisie/proletariat form of relationship. Ironically, Christianity is a redemptive tool for the emancipation…
Witchcraft stigmatization and abuse of children in Akwa-Ibom state, Nigeria
In this age of intellectual progress and technological advancement, strange beliefs are still rife, and misfortunes are blamed on witches in many societies. In the past, the avowed witches were the aged. Lately, focus has shifted to vulnerable and defenseless children who have become victims of witchcraft stigmatization and abuse. In Akwa-Ibom State, Nigeria, hundreds of children have been labeled as witches and thus subjected to series of violat…
