<p>This study investigates the mechanisms through which overlapping social factors shape the psychosocial lives of women victims of the Boko Haram conflict in the Lake Chad region. Grounded in feminist intersectional theory, this study analyzes how intersecting identities such as gender, displacement, religion, ethnicity, and socio-economic class contribute to the reinforcement of women’s induced trauma. We ask the central research question: How do intersecting factors, including gender, exposure to conflict, displacement, religion, and socio-economic status, lead to the continuation of women’s psychosocial trauma in the Lake Chad region? The interviews were conducted from May to September 2024 using a multi-method qualitative design. Semi-structured interviews of 35 participants were done, with the number equally distributed among the categories of the interviewee: survivors, ex-combatants, collaborators, leaders in community-based organizations, and lastly, government officials. The interviews were thematically coded with clear identification of trauma categories like sexual violence, abduction, loss of loved ones, and economic loss, as well as identity markers such as displaced vs. host status, widowhood, and religion. Findings show that nearly all female survivors have reported high levels of gender-based violence, in the form of rape and forced marriage, as well as displacement and loss of loved ones. These abuses with their intersecting occurrence were strongly linked with depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms. In these multiple traumas, the research finds that the women devised resilience mechanisms through the development of support networks, engaging in faith-based and income-generating activities, and participating in community-based organizing, and these approaches were highly instrumental in mitigating psychological distress.</p>
