Abstract: 
We examine the impact of multinational oil companies' (MOCs') corporate social responsibility (CSR) on traditional practices recognized as violence against women and girls (VAWG) in Nigeria's oil region. Results from the use of a combined propensity score matching and logit model indicate that MOCs' CSR play a significant role in empowering women and girls with information and education to protect their human rights. This implies that CSR offers an opportunity for MOCs to help address prevalence of child early and forced marriage, female genital mutilation/cutting, sex trafficking, virginity testing, and taboos through a business case for stakeholders' human right protection.
