    Reinforcing vs. Challenging Gender Norms in the Digital Age

    Gender norms—deeply ingrained societal expectations about the roles and behaviors of men and women—are increasingly influenced by the content, interactions, and algorithms that define our online experiences.

Listen to Aminat Salaudeen, Women’s Rights & Safety Officer at TechHerNG, and Khadija Lawan, gender integration specialist, as they share their experiences on how digital media shapes gender perceptions and what this means for the broader goals of gender equality.

    The Evolution of Social Standards in Digital Communities

    The rapid growth of digital platforms—ranging from social media giants like Facebook and Instagram to niche communities on Reddit and WhatsApp—has fundamentally changed how we communicate, form relationships, and establish social norms.

    Agency and Norms in Child Labour Eradication

    The global prevalence estimates of child labour have reported an increase, for the first time in two decades (ILO, 2021, p.9). According to the ILO and NBS, 39.2% of children engaged in child labour in Nigeria. Among the antecedents of child labour, including poverty, parental history of child labour, immigration status, and educational status, recent research evidence from several countries identifies social and cultural norms as one of the key causes of child labour. Social norms regulate people's actions within the social order and characterize shared expectations among people. Osoba Olukemi Olapeju, an experienced professional, shared insights on approaches to address the social norms perpetuating child labour by bridging the knowledge gap and empowering listeners to challenge social norms that perpetuate child labour.

    Sexual and Reproductive Health Education - A Necessity, Not a Secret

    Many people in West Africa lack access to comprehensive and accurate information on Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH). Traditional beliefs, stigma, and cultural norms often hinder open discussions and access to reliable sources. As a result, unintended pregnancy rates remain high, driven by limited access to family planning services and contraceptives. Maternal and child mortality rates are also elevated due to inadequate SRH care, including insufficient antenatal care, skilled delivery attendance, and postpartum care. Additionally, HIV/AIDS and STIs continue to be significant public health concerns in the region. In this episode of normslab, we dive into Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), promoting awareness and challenging the stigma surrounding these topics. We discuss what needs to be done to empower individuals to make informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes.
