dc.description.abstractIt is not an understatement to say that in Nigeria, terrorism has been a constant threat to all aspects of health including physical, social and psychological wellbeing of the people. The most prominent of the problems faced by the nation today is the Boko Haram insurgency. Boko Haram is a terrorist group which strongly perceive western education as forbidden. They then began the killings of who ever have received western education. They kidnap mostly, women and girls of childbearing age. The gruesome attacks by Boko Haram insurgents on women cannot be overemphasized. Girls are been abducted and used as suicide bombers while others are brutally raped and impregnated. Some of these women after being rescued result to abortion of the unwanted pregnancies while others see it as their fate and may decide to have the babies. This gave rise to series of reproductive health problems among the internally displaced persons (women) especially those living in the internally displaced camps. Several conditions in their new abode have made them prone to HIV, STIs, abortion, domestic violence, infertility and other reproductive health challenges. Effective reproductive health care is advocated for these women
