Wstęp Przemoc w rodzinie jest problemem globalnym a Nigeria nie jest wolna od tego wyzwania. Groźba przemocy domowej wniknęła głęboko w materię społeczeństwa nigeryjskiego. Materiał i metody. Wykorzystano współczesne źródła referencyjne i opracowania naukowe poświęcone głównie psychologii i socjologii. Wyniki Faktem jest, że większość ofiar w Igbolandii w Nigerii milczy na temat molestowania, z jakim spotykają się w swoich domach, ponieważ nie mają z kim porozmawiać lub nie mają gdzie zgłosić sprawy. Wnioski Rząd na szczeblu federalnym, stanowym i lokalnym, przywódcy religijni i wszystkie inne osoby zajmujące takie stanowiska jak tradycyjni władcy, powinni znaleźć trwałe rozwiązania, które pomogłyby stawić czoła temu zagrożeniu społecznemu; a także zwiększyć świadomość na temat niebezpieczeństw i konsekwencji angażowania się w przemoc w rodzinie, ponieważ doprowadzi to do ogromnego zmniejszenia liczy przypadków przemocy domowej.

IntroductionAbstract Domestic violence is a global problem and Nigeria is not exempted from this challenge. The menace of domestic violence has eaten deep into the fabric of the Nigerian society. Material and methods Contemporary reference sources and scientific studies devoted mainly to the psychology and sociology were used. Results The fact remains that majority of the victims in Igboland of Nigeria remain silent about the abuse they face in their respective homes since they have no one to talk to or nowhere to report the case. Conclusions The government at the federal, state and local levels, religious leaders and all other people in positions of authority like traditional rulers should find lasting solutions that would help in tackling this societal menace; and also create awareness about the dangers and repercussions of engaging in domestic violence as this will lead to a massive reduction in cases of domestic violence.
