How does structural violence contribute to gender inequality in Nigeria? The Deep Intertwining of Structural Violence and Gender Inequality in Nigeria I provide a comprehensive analysis of how structural violence in Nigeria, a system of embedded inequalities that produces avoidable harm and suffering, is deeply intertwined with the perpetuation of gender inequality. I demonstrate how this system operates across various dimensions of Nigerian society, creating and reinforcing disadvantages for women that limit their opportunities, agency, and representation, ultimately undermining their full participation in social, economic, and political spheres.

What is the relationship between the Nigerian state and citizens' security and how does this relationship affect gender relations? The Complex Relationship Between the Nigerian State, Citizen Security, and Gender I show a complex and troubling relationship between the Nigerian state and its responsibility to ensure the security of its citizens, a relationship that is deeply intertwined with, and exacerbates, existing gender inequalities. I argue that while the Nigerian constitution guarantees the security of its citizens, this guarantee is selectively applied, favoring the wealthy and powerful while leaving the majority, particularly women, vulnerable to various forms of violence and insecurity. This selective application of security provisions, the sources argue, is a manifestation of structural violence, a system of inequality that produces and perpetuates avoidable harm and suffering.
