More so, statistics reveals that they constitute 69,086,302 of Nigeria's 140,431,790 population. This book examines the enforcement of women's rights as human rights in Nigeria. In doing this, it considers customs, constitution, laws, policies, courts' decisions as the court is the last hope of the common man and the place of obligations-imposing international and regional treaties ratified by Nigeria.

The fight for the protection and advancement of women and female rights as an international human right has been an on going work. Women and female children all over the world have always enjoyed lesser rights when compared with men and boys in every society whether primitive, developing or developed societies. Many governments all over the world have enacted laws and regulations to promote and protect the rights of women and female children. A lot of laws have been put in theory to give women equality with men. In reality or practice, many women and female children all over the world still find it difficult to realize their rights. This book acknowledges that in theory many African states have tried to change the statue books to accord women and female child some level of equality with men and boys but at the same time a look at the practice of the law in many African states shows a different pattern.
