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.
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.
