Abstract:
This paper explores a very crucial aspect of Boko haram terrorism in Nigeria- the consequence of Boko Haram terrorism on women in Northern Nigeria. This paper goes to memory lane to trace the origin of the insurgency and also the causes of Boko Haram terrorism in Nigeria. Analysis and discussion of this paper predicated on secondary sources [mostly scholarly and empirical research findings] posits that Boko Haram terrorism has resulted in the abduction of women and girls, arbitrary arrestof women by government security agents, use of women as pawns by the terrorist group, infliction of collective terror on women, use of women as wartime labour force, demoralization of women education and livelihood crisis. For the policy recommendations, this paper recommends among other things that government should make education of youths a priority as this is one major tool to break the cycle of poverty in the region, government security agents should provide security in communities especially to vulnerable women and girls, the Nigeria government should collaborate with international communities especially with the Nigerian neighbours on a concerted fight against Boko Haram terrorism.
