“…Within the Nigerian context, various Christian leaders have been able to condemn discriminatory laws that impede women's access and ownership rights (Williams et al, 2020). Nevertheless, customs and traditions still prevail over laws of intestate succession as Christian laws are viewed by some traditional societies as foreign to the Nigerian culture.…”

The paper seeks to establish the role of religion and culture in the realization of women's rights to property in Nigeria. It begins by affirming that protecting women's rights to property in Nigeria is a fundamental step towards achieving the 5th Sustainable Development Goal of gender equality. The promotion and protection of these rights in any society are determined by several factors such as the customs, prevailing traditions, as well as the religious laws that control behavioral patterns in that society. In discussing this within the Nigerian context, the paper explores the tenets of Christianity and Islam that govern women's rights to property. The study used secondary data derived from articles that were sourced from Google Scholar. A total of nine articles was reviewed. The paper reveals that, culturally, women are viewed as inferior to men, and a male-child is generally celebrated and allotted higher portions of properties. However, the tenets of both Islam and Christianity do not disregard the woman in terms of property rights. The authors suggest that the prevailing discrimination against women has no religion backing, but a misguided exploitation of the low educational status of women in Nigeria.

“…This may be contextual to both liberal countries, among the more conservative/traditional arms of the major religions, and in those countries where they continue to play a dominant role in informing law, culture, politics, and everyday life [10]. Further, LGBTQ people of all ages continue to experience religious persecution and resistance to LGBTQ rights, some of which amounts to abuse, in both liberal and illiberal countries [11][12][13][14][15][16]. As Super & Jacobson observe, …religious abuse may occur when a religious group or leader, whether intentionally or unintentionally, uses coercion, threats, rejection, condemnation, or manipulation to force the individual into submission of the religious views about sexuality [17].…”

Research suggests health, social care, and social work professionals who are highly religious, and adhere closely to traditional doctrine, are more likely to take a negative view of LGBTQ people. This includes those who provide services to older people. Negative attitudes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and/or queer (LGBTQ) people can translate into poor care and even abuse. This commentary discusses recent literature on older LGBTQ people’s experiences of religious abuse. It highlights the concerns among many older LGBTQ people about care from religious based providers where religion becomes a factor leading to abuse, associated with microaggressions, psychological abuse, harassment, discriminatory abuse, neglect, and poor care. Even though only a minority of religious care providers may hold negative attitudes towards LGBTQ people, and even fewer may allow this to inform poor/abusive practice, this is nonetheless an area of concern and merits further investigation. All care providers, including those with strongly held religious beliefs, should deliver equally good, affirmative, non-abusive care to older LGBTQ people, and to LGBTQ people of all ages.<strong>Key words</strong>LGBTQ; religious care providers; abuse; adult protection; equality and human rights; law
