misogyny and insufficient support<br />
for survivors, have created a culture<br />
of silence and impunity which<br />
continues to fail hundreds of women<br />
and girls every year.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> fear of not being believed,<br />
or even being blamed for being<br />
raped, is creating a dangerous<br />

culture of silence that prevents<br />
survivors from seeking justice. It is<br />
unacceptable that survivors of rape<br />
and other forms of gender-based<br />
violence face such a torturous ordeal<br />
to get justice, which only adds to<br />
their pain. <strong>The</strong> ‘state of emergency’<br />
has proven to be an empty<br />
declaration, which has so far done<br />
nothing to protect women and girls<br />
in Nigeria.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> report is based on research<br />
carried out between March 2020<br />
and August <strong>2021</strong>, including<br />
interviews with <strong>14</strong> women and girl<br />
survivors of rape aged between 12<br />
and 42. Amnesty International<br />
researchers also interviewed seven<br />
parents of child survivors.<br />
Interviews were conducted in<br />
Abuja, Lagos, Kano, Sokoto and<br />
Bauchi states.<br />

violations in Nigeria.<br />

under-reported in Nigeria<br />
