Abstract
Description
The study examined the impact of domestic abuse on female
employees’ productivity among the Nigerian workforce. It is an exploratory
study that delved into the various types of gender-based violence, the levels
of gender-based violence, the forms and prevalence of domestic abuse, why
some employers address the gender-based violence issues and why others do
not, and the effect on the victims, employers, co-workers and organizations
at large. Not only that the legal effects of domestic abuse: the law, policies
and practices on the workforce, and the toll on productivity of the female
workforce in Nigeria were the focus of the study. Thus, we concluded that
domestic abuse on female workforce in Nigeria is a criminal matter under
assault in the Criminal Code in which the victim(s) can bring a civil action
under the tort of assault as this affects their productivity and ultimately their
overall performance and the organization at large
