The NOI Polls, which is an opinion polling and research organisation, established by the current
Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and named
after her, yesterday released results from its poll carried out in January 2013, in commemoration of
the International Day of the Girl Child. NOI Polls revealed: “In order to commemorate this
event and honour the girl child this
special day, NOI Polls Limited released one of the polls we conducted in the first quarter of the
year 2013, which was focused on
the challenges faced by the girl
child in Nigeria and indeed the
world over as a result of the
incidence of rape among women in the society. 34 percent of the participants
believed that indecent dressing was the main cause of rape in the
society; 18 percent believed
unemployment was the cause; nine
percent believed it was caused by
lack of moral values and another
nine percent believed it was caused by the inability to control
sexual urges; seven percent said it
was caused by faulty upbringing.
Five percent of the participants
believed rape was caused by
illiteracy about women’s rights, ungodliness and bad company. So should the actions of the rapist be justified by indecent dressing? Do we now blame the girl who is not dressed "In a decent manner" for rape if it happens? Or the rapist should take 100% blame for his actions?
