AN overwhelming majority of Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, in Nigeria are women and children.

IDPs are people who have been displaced by natural disaster or conflicts from their homes. In Nigeria, conflicts arising from the activities of Boko Haram in the North-East have resulted in threats to lives and properties, together with the death of many and displacement of several people.
