A total of 250 purposively selected regular female athletes from five Nigerian universities （two federal universities, two state universities and one private university）, in the south-East Geopolitical zone of the country. A self structured questionnaire with reliability value of 0.73. The test-retest method was used for data collection. Data collected were subjected to descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage and Chi-square inferential statistics at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that majority perceived FGM as harmful and detrimental to excellent sports performance, administration and management. Based on the result of the study, it was therefore recommended that government should design programmes aimed at improving the education of the girl-child as this has been identified as one of the factors which will help to change the attitude of mothers towards the practice of FGM.展开更多

There is increase in singlehood due to one’s own choice, separation and divorce because boy child does not feel empowered to take up their roles as heads of families later in life. A lot is documented about single hood but information about impact of girl child empowerment amid boy child neglect on singlehood is minimally captured in literature. This study empirically modeled the impact of girl child empowerment amid boy child neglect on single hood in Kakamega County. The study employed sample survey method of data collection. Single hoods of age 30 years and above formed the study population. The data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed by use of Chi-Squares to test the degree of relationship between the variables of study and singlehood. Linear regression analysis was also used to come up with a model of how the variables of study influenced singlehood in the county. The study revealed negative correlation between girl child empowerment and singlehood and a positive correlation between boy child neglect and singlehood. The findings are expected to be useful to stakeholders in Kakamega County when designing appropriate plan of action to empower both boy child and girl child alike.展开更多
