Abstract

This paper presents an aspect of the result of a British Council Funded project on " Preventing sexual violence on university campuses in Nigeria" using Braun and Clarke (2006) Reflexive Thematic theory to analyze listening exercises from three purposively selected institutions in Lagos State with insights from theoretic elements from linguistic Pragmatics. Findings reveal that female students are unable to speak up against sexual violence because of stereotypes relating to respect for elders, proximity to the opposite sex and assumptions.
