Data Initiatives
Evaluation of school related violence in Nigeria
The evaluation of school-related violence in Nigeria reveals alarming trends: 78% of victims experience repeated harassment, with verbal (51.3%) and physical (43.6%) harassment most prevalent. Over 81% of respondents witnessed violence, yet 46.6% of incidents go unreported, and 79% of victims don’t seek help. Key causes include peer pressure and physical appearance, exacerbated by weak disciplinary policies. Recommendations include enforcing anti-bullying policies, establishing counseling units, running awareness campaigns, and engaging parents.
Assesment of the affordability of childcare in Nigeria
Childcare affordability in Nigeria poses challenges, with most families spending ₦20,000–₦50,000 monthly and 25% finding costs unaffordable. Quality and reputation of services are top priorities, yet awareness of government programs is low. Many believe reduced costs would significantly improve access and financial stability. Key barriers include financial strain, limited government support, and gender disparities, as caregiving falls largely on women. Recommendations include subsidies for low-income families, government investment in childcare facilities, quality regulation, and employer-provided childcare benefits.
Lagos State Child Marriage Analysis
The data analysis highlights critical insights into child marriage in Lagos State. A majority (75%) of respondents acknowledge child marriage as prevalent, with poverty (41.67%) being the leading driver, followed by lack of education (18.75%) and cultural practices (16.67%). Most respondents (62.5%) believe child marriage disrupts education, particularly at the secondary level. Health consequences include early pregnancies, depression, and severe complications. While 50% are aware of child marriage in their communities, 41.7% consider it a pressing issue. Addressing this crisis requires targeted interventions focusing on poverty alleviation, education, and community awareness to mitigate its impact on young girls.
