Women, Business and the Law : Subnational Nigeria - Anambra State
Overview & Synopsis
The Women, Business and the Law 2024: Subnational Nigeria – Anambra State (Onitsha) profile evaluates legal, policy, and practical constraints affecting women’s economic participation through three pillars: legal frameworks, supportive frameworks, and expert opinions. Anambra scores 45.0 in legal frameworks, 29.2 in supportive frameworks, and 34.4 in expert opinions, all below global averages. While strong provisions exist in marriage and pension laws, significant gaps remain in labor rights, childcare, entrepreneurship, and protections against violence. Limited policy implementation and enforcement further constrain outcomes. Targeted reforms in labor legislation, childcare services, inheritance rights, and violence prevention are essential to enhance women’s economic empowerment in Anambra State.
