Abstract
Gender refers to social differentiation or cultural distinction between males and females and the attribution of certain roles on the basis of that differentiation. Gender is a social and cultural construct that differentiates women from men and defines the ways in which women and men interact with each other. Gender refers to the roles that men and women engage in and the power relations that place either sex at an advantage or disadvantage over resources. Nigeria is a highly patriarchal nation where men dominate all spheres of women’s lives. Women are in subordinate positions at local, state and federal levels. Male children are preferred over the female children. Gender Equality is very important in order to create a balance society where males and females will have equal access to resources and opportunities. This work will anchor its theoretical framework on Radical Feminism theory. Gender Equality is an essential thing for achieving sustainable development in Nigeria.
