| dc.description.abstract | This study examined the influence of gender norms on male and female students' experience of sexual/gender-based violence, wealth access, and decision-making in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Using a cross-sectional survey of 4,142 respondents, the study explored students’ attitudes towards economic participation, financial autonomy, and decision-making. While most female respondents rejected traditional gender roles, a small percentage of both males (11.82%) and females (24%) maintained patriarchal views, particularly regarding male dominance in business and decision-making. Some respondents also believed women should seek partner consent to start businesses or give their income to male partners. Despite these challenges, the study reveals a positive shift toward economic independence and decision-making equality. The findings emphasize the need for gender sensitization and institutional reforms to promote female entrepreneurship, financial independence, and inclusive leadership. | |
