Abstract

This article examines the importance of the provisions of the Niamey Guidelines to Combat Sexual Violence and its Consequences in addressing sexual violence, including sexual harassment in Africa. Using Nigeria as a case study, the article examines the provisions of international and regional human rights instruments in addressing sexual harassment. It discusses the Guidelines’ approach to addressing sexual violence, including sexual harassment. The article highlights some of the salient provisions of the Niamey Guidelines on sexual violence, which include the obligation of states to prevent sexual violence, protecting and supporting victims of sexual violence, investigating and prosecuting sexual violence, ensuring reparation to implementing international and regional norms on sexual violence at the national level. The analysis of the Niamey Guidelines vis-à-vis legislation to address sexual harassment in Nigeria is grounded in asking the woman question. This refers to how laws, policies and judicial decisions take account of the lived experiences of women. Thereafter, the article discusses some of the gaps in the approach by the Nigerian government to address sexual harassment and offers recommendations for the way forward.

打击非洲性暴力及其后果的尼亚美准则和性骚扰:尼日利亚案例研究
本文探讨了《打击性暴力及其后果的尼亚美准则》规定在解决非洲性暴力,包括性骚扰方面的重要性。本文以尼日利亚为例,审查了国际和区域人权文书在处理性骚扰方面的规定。它讨论了《准则》处理包括性骚扰在内的性暴力的方法。这篇文章强调了《尼亚美准则》关于性暴力的一些突出规定,其中包括各国有义务防止性暴力、保护和支助性暴力受害者、调查和起诉性暴力、确保赔偿,以便在国家一级执行关于性暴力的国际和区域准则。对《尼亚美准则》与-à-vis在尼日利亚处理性骚扰的立法的分析是基于对妇女问题的询问。这是指法律、政策和司法决定如何考虑到妇女的生活经历。此后,本文讨论了尼日利亚政府在解决性骚扰问题上的一些差距,并提出了今后的建议。
