A study published in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence highlights the impact of gender-based violence (GBV) on parenting stress and child behavior in Nigeria. The research focuses on a new intervention called Problem Management plus Mindfulness informed Legal Education (PM + MiLE), aimed at reducing stress in parenting and increasing awareness of legal support for women affected by GBV. Conducted in Delta state, the randomized controlled trial involved 24 participants with GBV experiences, who were assigned to either the PM + MiLE intervention group or a waitlist control group. Results showed that those in the experimental group experienced lower parenting stress and greater awareness of legal resources compared to the control group. The study also noted that factors such as economic hardship, trauma from GBV, and societal patriarchy hinder effective parenting for those in the control group. The findings suggest important policy implications and contribute to understanding how interventions can support parental stress reduction and improve access to justice for women facing GBV, with potential applications in other countries with similar issues.
