dcterms.abstractConflicts affect everyone, yet the ways they affect men and women often vary significantly. In rural communities of Southwest Nigeria, where recent farmer-herder clashes have grown increasingly violent, fueled by dwindling resources and climate shocks, women have been taking on new responsibilities within their households and communities. With more men actively involved in armed groups, women often must step into roles traditionally held by men, such as running businesses or advocating for their communities. While these shifts offer opportunities for empowerment and independence, they also place considerable extra pressure on women. How do women themselves feel about this? Our recent study in Nigeria—supported by the CGIAR research initiatives on Fragility, Conflict, and Migration and on Gender Equality (HER+)—focused on how these farmer-herder conflicts and the changes they bring shape women’s economic and social aspirations. It offers valuable insights into the dynamics of women’s empowerment in fragile settings.en_US
