Exploring the Intersections: Climate Change, Globalization, and Inequality on Women's Livelihoods amidst Farmer-Herder Conflicts in Nigeria

Changes in consumer behaviour as a result of globalisation have exacerbated the existing social and economic inequalities in Nigeria, particularly among rural women. This has been made worse due to escalating conflicts between herdsmen and farmers which has further compromised women's livelihoods, increased poverty, displacement, and violence.

This study explores the intersectionality of climate change, globalization, and inequality on women's livelihoods in Nigeria's conflict-prone regions. Using a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative case studies, this research investigates how climate-related resource scarcity, economic instability, and social marginalization intersect to compromise women's access to resources, healthcare, and economic opportunities.

The findings highlight the need for climate-sensitive conflict resolution and sustainable livelihood initiatives that prioritize women's empowerment and social protection.
