Overview
Rape is an endemic criminal sexual behaviour in Nigeria and its perpetration not only violates survivors' dignity but also compromises their health and wellbeing. The rape-related data used in this traditional literature review are derived mainly from small-scale surveys conducted in Nigeria. The deviant behaviour could be perpetrated against both males and females of various socio-demographic characteristics; however, it is young females that are disproportionately more affected. The determinants of rape include factors that are associated with adverse social, cultural and economic conditions. In Nigeria the prevention and control of the practice involve stakeholders such as parents, Non-governmental Organisations, religious institutions, government ministries as well as government agencies that constitute the criminal justice system. The criminal justice system uses existing legal statutes on rape to arrest, prosecute, adjudicate, and punish offenders. The barriers to the control and prevention of rape in Nigeria include the following: inappropriate perception; social stigmatization; under-reporting; and cumbersome legal requirements needed to establish a case of rape. Strategies with potentials for curbing rape in the country include public enlightenment, multi-sectoral action, advocacy, amendment of rape-related laws; training targeted at personnel in health care and criminal justice systems and formulation of evidence-based policies. Le viol est un comportement sexuel criminel endémique au Nigéria et sa perpétration non seulement porte atteinte à la dignité des survivantes, mais compromet également leur santé et leur bien-être. Les données relatives au viol utilisées dans cette revue de la documentation traditionnelle proviennent principalement des enquêtes à petite échelle menées au Nigéria. Le comportement déviant pourrait être perpétré contre des hommes et des femmes de diverses caractéristiques sociodémographiques; cependant, ce sont les jeunes femmes qui sont disproportionnellement plus touchées. Les déterminants du viol comprennent des facteurs associés à des conditions sociales, culturelles et économiques défavorables. Au Nigéria, la prévention et le contrôle de cette pratique impliquent des parties prenantes telles que les parents, les organisations non gouvernementales, les institutions religieuses, les ministères gouvernementaux ainsi que les agences gouvernementales qui constituent le système de justice pénale. Le système de justice pénale utilise les lois en vigueur sur le viol pour arrêter, poursuivre, juger et punir les contrevenants. Les obstacles au contrôle et à la prévention du viol au Nigéria sont les suivants: perception inappropriée; stigmatisation sociale; sousdéclaration; et les exigences juridiques lourdes nécessaires pour établir un cas de viol. Les stratégies susceptibles de mettre un terme au viol dans le pays comprennent la sensibilisation du public, l'action multisectorielle, le plaidoyer, la modification des lois relatives au viol; formation destinée au personnel des systèmes de santé et de justice pénale et la formulation des politiques fondées sur des données factuelles.
