Domestic violence remains a significant social issue in Nigeria, where cultural, economic, and legal factors often perpetuate the cycle of abuse. Despite the Nigerian constitution’s guarantee of fundamental human rights, a considerable portion of the population, particularly women, faces violations through various forms of domestic violence. Wife battering is particularly pervasive, with profound impacts not only on the immediate victims but also on children who witness such violence. This exposure can disrupt children’s sense of security, leading to severe emotional and psychological distress, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Behaviorally, these children may exhibit increased aggression, social withdrawal, and difficulties in forming healthy relationships, which can impede their academic performance and overall development. This study focuses on Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, to explore the specific experiences of children exposed to wife battering, assessing the correlation between the frequency and severity of such incidents and the social interaction patterns of primary school pupils. It also examines the coping mechanisms adopted by these children and evaluates the effectiveness of support systems within schools and the broader community. By providing localized insights into the cultural and social dynamics influencing the impact of domestic violence, the study aims to inform the development of effective, culturally sensitive interventions that address the needs of children affected by domestic violence in Ijebu Ode and similar communities. The study’s findings are intended to guide policymakers, educators, and social workers in crafting targeted support programs, ultimately contributing to a broader understanding of the issue and fostering positive social interactions among affected children.
