Abstract	Intimate partner violence (IPV) against Nigerian nurses in the US is a complex issue intersecting gender, occupation, culture, economics, and migration. This study adopts an intersectional feminist and adult learning framework to explore the causes and potential solutions. Drawing on a thematic analysis of ten media reports and commentaries on various reported cases of IPV against Nigerian nurses, key themes that emerged include: gender-based power dynamics, cultural expectations, clashes between patriarchal societies and gender equality, open communication, psychological factors, perceived "anti-male" legal system, and immigrant struggles. Adult learning and education (ALE) interventions, employing transformative and experiential learning, can empower Nigerian nurses and the Nigerian immigrant community in general to challenge traditional norms, address power imbalances, and foster equality in relationships. The study calls for targeted and culturally sensitive support services to create safer environments for Nigerian nurses and families in the US. Further research is recommended to assess the long-term impact and representativeness of the findings. (As Provided).
