Abstract

Violence against women is both a human rights violation and a public health hazard.

Men, women,and children alike can be violated by the violent acts of others. However, violence against women is violence meted out to women on account of their gender. Violence against women is increasingly being recognized as a global public health problem that demands solutions within both global and local public health policies. However, in many developing countries, including Nigeria, violence against women has not received much attention or support in the health arena, specifically within health law and policy.

The aim of this Article is to begin the conversation in the context of Nigeria, with the hope that it will galvanize efforts to recognize and implement preventative and restorative interventions in the arena of health.
