Background of the Study:
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Nigeria, particularly in conflict-ridden areas like Borno State, face severe human rights violations. Monguno, a town in Borno, has witnessed the displacement of thousands of people due to insurgencies, leaving IDPs vulnerable to various forms of abuse, including inadequate access to food, healthcare, shelter, and education. The situation is compounded by issues like gender-based violence and inadequate protection from humanitarian organizations.
This study aims to evaluate the human rights conditions in the IDP camps in Monguno, Borno State, identifying the violations experienced by displaced persons and assessing the effectiveness of humanitarian interventions. The study will also explore the role of the government and NGOs in ensuring the protection of human rights in these camps.
Statement of the Problem:
IDPs in Monguno, Borno State, face numerous human rights violations, including limited access to basic needs, physical and sexual abuse, and a lack of security within the camps. Despite efforts by various organizations to assist these displaced persons, these violations continue to persist, highlighting the need for a comprehensive evaluation of human rights protection in the camps.
Objectives of the Study:
To assess the human rights violations faced by IDPs in Monguno, Borno State.
To evaluate the effectiveness of humanitarian responses in addressing the human rights needs of IDPs in Monguno.
