This study examines the impact of gender-specific legal education programmes on attitudes towards women's rights in Nigeria. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys and interviews with legal practitioners and community members. Survey results indicated a significant shift in attitudes towards gender equality among participants (35% reported increased support for women's rights compared to pre-programme levels). Gender-specific legal education programmes have shown promise in altering perceptions of women's rights, particularly among law school graduates and judicial officers. Further research should be conducted to assess long-term effects and identify best practices for future implementation.
