This paper examines the struggle for gender equality in Nigeria. It observes that despite Nigeria's ratification of virtually all international instruments on the protection and promotion of gender rights and equality, she has failed to domesticate most of them. Consequently, this has slowed down the pace of women emancipation in Nigeria; it has also denied women rights activists in Nigeria a wider and stronger platform to agitate for the enforcement of women's rights. The paper further highlights and examines inter-alia, the galaxies of gender discriminatory laws that still exist in the pages of Nigerian statute books and the harmful cultural practices that have for decades impeded the rights of women in Nigeria. The paper also observes that the gender inequalities in the system have occasioned an intense marginalization and subjugation of Nigerian women to the background, in virtually every sphere of life; the paper recommends new strategies to be adopted by gender rights activists in combating these institutionalized discriminations.
