Gender-based violence (GBV) is a reproductive health issue prevalent among persons in conflict and post-conflict situations, but is largely under-reported in Nigeria. Although GBV affects both sexes, the prevalence is higher in women as compared to men. The objective of this study was to assess the experiences of female internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nigeria during conflict and post-conflict situations. The study was conducted among IDPs in Edo State, south-south region of Nigeria. Data were collected with a semi-structured questionnaire administered on 300 female IDPs. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted. GBV perpetrated by non-family members during conflict was experienced by 22.2% of the respondents while 13.5% experienced post-conflict violence. Up to 12.2% reported violence by intimate partners. Physical violence was commonly experienced during conflict, while sexual violence was most common post-conflict. Logistic regression analysis showed that the vulnerable categories of women were adolescents, unmarried women, women of Hausa origin, women who never attended school, and those whose displacement took place in the year prior to the study. The IDP camp appeared to offer some protection against GBV as those who had stayed in the camp longer were less likely to experience post-conflict GBV. The lack of implementation of effective laws and regulations that prevent violence against women and punish perpetuators in the country, and the ineffective security systems are some of the factors that sustain GBV. The results of this study have implications for the design of programs for the prevention of GBV during conflict and post-conflict situations.

基于性别的暴力 (GBV) 是在冲突中和冲突后局势中普遍存在的生殖健康问题，但在尼日利亚基本上没有得到充分报告。尽管 GBV 影响两性，但与男性相比，女性的患病率更高。本研究的目的是评估尼日利亚境内女性流离失所者 (IDP) 在冲突和冲突后局势中的经历。该研究是在尼日利亚南南地区埃多州的国内流离失所者中进行的。通过对 300 名女性境内流离失所者进行的半结构化问卷收集数据。进行了描述性和推理性分析。22.2% 的受访者经历了冲突期间非家庭成员实施的 GBV，而 13.5% 的受访者经历了冲突后暴力。高达 12.2% 的人报告了亲密伴侣的暴力行为。身体暴力在冲突期间经常发生，而性暴力在冲突后最为常见。逻辑回归分析显示，女性的弱势群体是青少年、未婚女性、豪萨裔女性、从未上过学的女性以及在研究前一年流离失所的女性。IDP 营地似乎提供了一些针对 GBV 的保护，因为那些在营地停留时间更长的人不太可能经历冲突后的 GBV。缺乏有效的法律和法规来防止该国对妇女的暴力行为和惩罚犯罪者，以及无效的安全系统是维持 GBV 的一些因素。
