Abstract
This paper analyzes how the intersectionality of gender, forced displacement, andcollective violence shapes coping behaviors in conflict crises, paying particular attention to household compositionby gender and age. Drawing on survey data from 17,951 individuals in North-east Nigeria, the analysis finds thatcoping behaviors at the household, adult, and child levels are interlinked and strongly shaped by compoundingchallenges stemming from individual gender, household forced displacement status, and local violence shocks. Thesechallenges have significant welfare implications and create severe vulnerabilities and special needs for specific groupsof households and individuals, such as rural communities affected by violence, large households with many children,female breadwinners, and displaced girls. The findings emphasize the need for and potential of concerted policyapproaches that account for the intersectionality of gender, displacement, and violence in conflict settings and payparticular attention to specific types of communities, households, and individuals.
