Abstract

Cultural Approaches to sexual matters in Nigeria and Mbanese clan in the 21st century undermines the health, dignity, security, and autonomy of women and girls, its victims, yet it remains shrouded in a culture of silence. This paper examines the cultural approaches to issues of child marriage/forced marriage, female circumcision, sexual assaults, widowhood practices and socio-economic violence. It is observed that cultural approaches to sexual matters is a common phenomenon in the society and that the majority of the people in Nigeria and in Mbanese clan in particular do not consider it a problem or crime. While applying Liberal and Socialist Feminist theory in the study, the paper recommends aggressive education and training that cuts across every strata of the society. Furthermore, it insists that a collective measure that comprises all stakeholders such as the local, state and federal government as well as the international agencies are required for the effective eradication of cultural approaches that undermines the women. Methodically, the study was dimensionally eclectic, sequel to the abundance of primary and secondary information.
