ABSTRACT Scholars have written extensively on the multiple roles and functions of female bodies. Their depictions in areas such as reproduction, sex, oppression and empowerment, peace and protest, weakness and strength, among others, have been examined through the ages. In addition, the objectification of female bodies in terms of rape, mutilation, forced pregnancy, physical assaults and forced labour within the domestic sphere and the society at large have been articulated. One notable gap in the literature in this regard has to do with a focus on the emerging trends in which armed groups are exploitatively engaging female bodies in their activities. This study, therefore, relies on interviews with Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) in Durumi and Lugbe camps, Abuja, two officials of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) working with displaced persons in the selected camps, development partners, documents, and published sources to examine the diverse ways in which the Boko Haram group has objectified the female body (as objects of sexual gratification, procreation, propaganda and profile enhancement, care-giving and gatekeeping as well as weapons of suicide bombing) and the socio-cultural factors fuelling their actions toward females in the northeastern part of Nigeria.

物化女性身体和尼日利亚东北部的博科圣地叛乱：来自阿布贾境内流离失所者营地的见解

摘要 学者们已经就女性身体的多重角色和功能撰写了大量文章。他们在生殖、性、压迫和赋权、和平与抗议、软弱和力量等领域的描绘历经了千百年来。此外，在家庭领域和整个社会中，女性身体在强奸、残割、强迫怀孕、身体攻击和强迫劳动方面的客观化也得到了阐明。在这方面，文献中的一个显着差距与关注新兴趋势有关，即武装团体在其活动中剥削性地让女性身体参与其中。因此，本研究依赖于对阿布贾 Durumi 和 Lugbe 营地境内流离失所者 (IDP) 的采访，
