The problem is becoming more worrisome in Nigeria as the number of internally displaced persons keeps skyrocketing every day. Internal displacement in Nigeria is due to upsurge of political violence, insurgency, communal clashes, militancy, religious unrests, and most recently farmers and herders’ clashes. This study assessed the psychosocial problems of internally displaced women in IDPs camps in Guma LGA of Benue State, Nigeria and the implications for counselling.
