Martins Okokon

Martins Okokon is a development sociologist who focuses on the societal and cultural factors that contribute to sexual abuse, particularly the abuse of boys by older female relatives in Nigeria. He highlights the patriarchal norms and gender stereotypes that perpetuate a culture of silence around male victimization, arguing that societal perceptions often dismiss boys as resilient and invulnerable, which complicates their ability to seek help and recognition for their traumatic experiences.
