Rise in Pregnancy Cases and Sexual Violence in Borno IDP Camps Sparks Concern

A recent dialogue in Borno revealed a concerning increase in pregnancy cases and sexual violence within IDP camps. Survivors, including young girls, are reportedly engaging in sex trade and resorting to unsafe abortions due to economic hardships.

Stakeholders, such as traditional rulers, lawyers, and government officials, discussed the need for solutions to address these issues. Grassroot Research Association (GRA) aims to break the stigma, improve access to justice, and advocate for survivors' rights.
