Abstract

Gender injustice on females has found its ways into the heart of human society and has become a tough stain to remove. Researchers have opined that the impact of injustice on females within national and international realm has not really been addressed. Historically, in Nigeria, it is observed that the womanhood is reduced to a mere infidel, hence there is the common belief that the best place for women is the kitchen. This trend has brought about tremendous misrepresentation of womenâ€™s right at the family down to the circular society which is unfair and inhuman. This formed the main objective of the study. The study is qualitative in nature as it relied on secondary sources, while Liberal, radical and Marxist theories were adopted as the theoretical framework. The study found that the Nigerian society is male-controlled in nature which is basically a major feature of a traditional society, a custom which enables men to dominate and discriminate women from formal education, gender injustice and perpetual treatment of female as second class citizen. This study is significant as it adds to the growing literature on gender study in Nigeria. Besides, the study would also serve as useful material for studies on gender. The study therefore recommends, a supplementary assertive advocacy by gender Right Activists, religious leaders, as well as domestication of international instruments on womenâ€™s Right and an urgent review of all Gender Discriminatory Laws in Nigeria towards curbing Gender Injustice.
