Abstract
Gender violence and women's political participation in Nigeria will be investigated from 2015 to 2019. Gender violence includes intimate partner abuse in heterosexual and same-sex relationships, as well as rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment. The term "gender violence" refers to the perception that violence is frequently utilized to maintain basic gender inequality. Men and women have diverse roles and responsibilities in our families, societies, and cultures. These duties and obligations are referred to as gender. The study's objectives are to investigate gender violence as a form of political oppression, to examine the extent of women's engagement in Nigerian politics, to identify the problems women face in Nigerian politics, and to provide solutions to help women achieve their political leadership potential. Data was examined using the concept of the written act. Because this was a desktop research project, textual analysis was employed for the analysis. To do this, relevant literary works and historical data were utilised. The data was examined using content analysis. Inequality in the workplace is skewed against men. In terms of education, women have traditionally had a lower position than men. Women's education curriculum emphasized Home Economics, which includes sub-categories of Domestic Science such as needlework, embroidery, cooking, and child care. The colonial educational system was, in fact, sexist in its treatment of female pupils. In Nigeria, feminism arose from a rising desire to improve the circumstances of Nigerian women. According to the authors, education for women is important in eradicating inferiority complexes and equipping aspiring women to compete with men. Government and women's organizations should collaborate in both urban and rural areas to promote women's education and enlightenment via aggressive awareness and enlightenment campaigns. a public relations campaign intended at debunking the widely held idea that women are less valued than men
