1 in 4 women experienced gender-based violence (GBV), a toll heightened by COVID19 pandemic related restrictions and economic strains in Nigeria.
The confinement is threatening the lives and livelihood of girls and women, and separating them from those that can best help them. The Gender and Covid19: Violence Against Women and Girls Report developed by Chitra Nagarajan, EVA, and TIERs supported by OSIWA in collaboration with the #StateofEmergencyGBV Movement, looks at the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on gender roles and relations in Nigeria.
