ABSTRACT
Women in Nigeria are faced with various challenges both at the private and public
sector. As a result of this, there are gender imbalance that tends to take place among both
sexes. There are various gender inequalities that preoccupies the system which ranges from
violence to abuses, discriminations as well as denial to political offices. Even though the
attainment of gender equality is not only seen as an end in itself, it is equally an end in
ingredients to and a product for the achievement of sustainable development of countries.
The method of the research work is based on the secondary source of analysis which
is done through the use of journals, internet materials and other archival sources of
information which is going to be relevant. Though Nigeria as a country with the Federal
Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation and Nigeria has been a signatory to
various international treaties and policies as well.
Various discoveries has revealed that gender inequality is a great challenge to Nigeria
even as a developing country, such as discriminations that women are faced with including
abuses. Although, the UN been an International Organization having established various
policies such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against
Women (CEDAW) etc. Despite all these policies that have been established for the purpose
of nullifying the distinction, exclusion made on the basis of sex, UN itself still encounters
various problems, such is the fact that women work more than women but are still been paid
low. With this policies, UN still have its challenges such that lack of women to improper
education, cultural and social beliefs of the women, poor recognition of women issues etc are
still some of the challenges the United Nations is facing.
In conclusion, if all the policies that the United Nation has established coupled with
the treaties that Nigeria has signed are put into effect, it will thus increase the knowledge of
women as well as curb barriers that are been placed against women, such as vying for
political positions, for instance, in Brazil and Germany; they have females as their Presidents
known as Chancellor, Nigeria also can get to that position
