Abstract

Gender expresses the basic differences between men and women in terms of their sexes. While sex is physical and biological determined, gender is socially determined. Gender refers more to expectations placed on someone because of the sex of the person. This is so because gender attitudes and behaviours are learned and the concept could change over time. Thus, gender inequality is the idea that men and women are not equal and that gender affects an individual’s living experiences. From birth males and females are raised differently and experienced different environment throughout their lives. Males and females are led on different paths due to the influences of gender role expectations and gender role stereotypes before they are able to choose their own. In effect, throughout life, males and females are seen as two very different species who have very different personalities and should stay on separate paths. Indeed, gender inequality is a social problem in Nigeria. Gender inequality is an ultimate outcome of any patriarchal society. The root cause of gender inequality is the role and place which society assigns to women and men base more on a question of culture. Gender inequality affects everyone in Nigeria, including men and women. Thus, the issue of violence during covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria.

It covers introduction, deduction from sociological theory | theoretical framework, forms of gender inequalities, causes of gender inequality, effects of gender inequality violence during covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria and ends with conclusion.
