The research adopted a multi-sectoral and community-based approach, collecting data from participants across various social settings, including marketplaces, educational institutions, workplaces, and religious organizations. Through stakeholder engagement, field data collection, and qualitative and quantitative analysis, the study explored behavioural, social, economic, cultural, and environmental factors associated with violence within intimate relationships and families.

The findings provided critical insights into the drivers and patterns of intimate partner violence and sexual abuse in Lagos. The research contributed to a stronger evidence base for policy formulation, prevention programming, public education campaigns, and stakeholder engagement initiatives aimed at reducing violence and strengthening protection mechanisms for vulnerable populations.

This landmark project reinforced the importance of combining research, community engagement, and strategic intervention in addressing complex social challenges and improving public safety outcomes.
