Abstract

This study delves into the complex intersection of internal displacement and women's reproductive health in Nigeria. As the country grapples with ongoing internal displacement crises due to various factors, including conflict and environmental challenges, it becomes imperative to examine the repercussions on the reproductive health of displaced women. Through a comprehensive analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, this research sheds light on the unique challenges faced by internally displaced women, including access to healthcare, family planning, maternal care, and the psychosocial aspects of reproductive health. The findings highlight the resilience of displaced women and provide crucial insights for policymakers, healthcare providers, and organizations striving to support and improve the reproductive health outcomes of this vulnerable population.
