dc.description.abstractDisplacement can occur as an incidence of natural disaster or by armed conflict. One of the biggest direct consequence of armed conflict is the creation of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs,) resulting in the loss of access to land, property, jobs and traditional support structure. The high insecurity on camps is compounded by deplorable conditions and different types of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). The three specific forms of GBV faced by men and boys in conflict situations ore sex-selective massacre, forced recruitment, and sexual violence, while the forms of abuse and violence inflicted on women due to their gender include rape, gang rape, sexual slavery, forced marriage and incest. In protection of the Refugees from GBV, the United Nations has put in place International Agreements to which many notions are signatories, but the extent of compliance with the agreements remain in doubt. The focus of this paper therefore, is to highlight the major international agreements/instruments put in place to protect Refugees, and to evaluate their implementation status in Refugee camps in Africa and offer recommendations for effective implementation.en_US
