Abstract

This study investigated the incidence of rape among children and teenagers in rural and urban communities in Nigeria. The study employed a cross-sectional survey design to describe the experiences of children and teenagers purposively selected from the six geopolitical regions of Nigeria. 445 participants between the ages of 9 and 19. Results revealed 10.7% rape incidence and 32.8% sexual experience two years before the study for respondents. Age, ethnicity, and community variations were found for rape incidence with 11.8% higher among teenagers aged 13 and above, 7.4% higher in urban communities and a high percentage of 27.2% among the Hausas. Advocating for strict legislative reforms to address the stringent procedures in establishing rape incidents in Nigerian law, comprehensive sexuality education programs in schools to promote awareness and healthy relationships, and preventive counselling interventions were recommended. The study provided an understanding of rape incidence among children and teenagers in Nigeria.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of ethnicity and family structure on childhood sexual abuse (CSA) experiences among women in Nigeria, with a particular focus on the moderating role of religious affiliation. Recognising the alarming national prevalence of CSA—estimated at 35%—the study addresses critical gaps in understanding how socio-cultural and familial variables intersect with religion to shape vulnerability. Using a cross-sectional, quantitative design, data were collected from 2,757 women across rural and urban areas in Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones through a multistage probability sampling method and structured electronic interviews. Descriptive, bivariate (Chi-square, Cramer’s V), and multivariate (logistic regression) analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between CSA, ethnicity, and family dynamics. Findings reveal that women from Igbo, Yoruba, and minority ethnic groups—particularly within Muslim and Christian communities—are significantly more likely to report CSA, especially those raised in polygynous households or by single parents or grandparents. Notably, Christians reported a higher prevalence of CSA than Muslims, suggesting religious variations in disclosure or exposure. These findings underscore the need for culturally and religiously sensitive interventions, policies, and child protection strategies that address ethnic and familial vulnerabilities. The originality of this study lies in its intersectional and nationally representative approach, offering a nuanced understanding that transcends the limitations of prior localised studies and contributes meaningful insights for policy and practice in child protection.
