In many countries of the world, there exist major inequalities between men and women in all aspects of life such as employment opportunities, political participation and education, power-sharing among others. These inequalities seem to have subjected women to exploitation even in sexual relationship among couples. Women are marginalized in politics, employment and even in matters related to decision making (Ugwu, 2014). Yet, women are more than half of the world population and they are saddled with a lot of responsibilities in the family and the society at large yet are systematically denied the resources to fulfill these responsibilities (Ugwu, 2014). Two-third (2/3) of the world’s illiterates are females, also of the millions of school age children not in school, the majority are girls (Abiola, 2005).
