Abstract [en]

This thesis examined the role of social workers in addressing intimate partner violence (IPV)against women in Nigeria, using systems theory, social identity theory, and attachment theory asframeworks. Through qualitative interviews with social workers, the study explored theirstrategies, resources, and collaboration with service providers like police, courts, shelters, andsocial welfare departments. Key findings emphasized the importance of awareness campaigns inschools, clinics, and communities to empower women and raise awareness about IPV. Ethicalconsiderations, including privacy, confidentiality, and informed consent, were upheld followingguidelines from Good Research Practice and the Helsinki Declaration. The research underscoredthe need for tailored, holistic interventions that integrate legal, psychological, and social supportservices. Future research should explore cultural norms, economic empowerment, the use oftechnology in interventions, and social workers’ training needs to enhance support for IPVsurvivors and prevent violence effectively.
