The Nigeria refugee crisis will be in its eighth year in 2022. Thousands of people have been forced to flee northeastern Nigeria due to violence and insurgency with most of them being women and children.

Despite the fact that the Nigerian military has retaken control of areas of the country’s northeast, civilians in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, and Niger continue to face terrible human rights violations, pervasive sexual and gender-based violence, forced recruitment, and suicide bombings.
