Abstract

Copious literature exists on how COVID-19 is affecting the sexual and reproductive health of women and girls in the world. Not much is known about the case of Nigeria. Using secondary data in peer-reviewed and grey literature, as well as insights from web searches, this paper explores the impact of measures such as lockdown, closure of schools, travel bans, and social distancing on the sexual and reproductive health of women and girls in Nigeria. The impact varies between urban and rural dwellers amidst pre-existing patriarchal norms and severe health care deficiencies and limited access for people and worse for women and girls with needs. Decision-making about family planning, contraceptive use, safe delivery, antenatal care, prenatal care and treatment of victims of rape which have been mainly areas in which men’s power has been demonstrated in the past only got worse with pandemic-related lockdown and restrictions.

新冠肺炎与尼日利亚妇女和女孩的性健康和生殖健康

关于新冠肺炎如何影响世界妇女和女孩的性健康和生殖健康，有大量文献。对尼日利亚的情况知之甚少。本文利用同行评审和灰色文献中的次要数据，以及网络搜索的见解，探讨了封锁、关闭学校、旅行禁令和保持社交距离等措施对尼日利亚妇女和女孩性健康和生殖健康的影响。城市和农村居民的影响各不相同，因为他们之前就有父权制规范，严重缺乏医疗保健，人们的机会有限，有需要的妇女和女孩的情况更糟。关于计划生育、避孕药具使用、安全分娩、产前护理、产前护理和强奸受害者治疗的决策，过去主要是男性力量得到证明的领域，但随着与疫情相关的封锁和限制，情况只会变得更糟。

期刊介绍： Cosmopolitan Civil Societies: An Interdisciplinary Journal is concerned with developing a better understanding of social change and cultural cohesion in cosmopolitan societies. Its focus lies at the intersection of conflict and cohesion, and in how division can be transformed into dialogue, recognition and inclusion. The Journal takes a grounded approach to cosmopolitanism, linking it to civil society studies. It opens up debate about cosmopolitan engagement in civil societies, addressing a range of sites: social movements and collective action; migration, cultural diversity and responses to racism; the promotion of human rights and social justice; initiatives to strengthen civil societies; the impact of ‘information society’ and the context of environmental change.
