Abstract
For a black woman, the experience of being a woman could not be seen independently from the experience of being black, but rather from the interactions between one and the other. In Nigeria being black is not the issue because Nigeria is a black country but the issue of gender bias against the women is a big problem. Despite the labor force participation rate gradually closing up and some improvement in the educational and professional attainment of Nigerian women, there are obstacles confronting women in the home, school and workplace.

This study examined gender inequality in Nigeria and the Social Workers role in mitigating this menace through the feminist approach
