Insecurity caused by violent conflicts in Nigeria is a recurring phenomenon that threatens the well-being of its citizens and has become something of grave concern to almost every well-meaning citizen. This study examined the socioeconomic impact of gender discrimination in conflict management in Nigeria. We argued that efforts by the Federal Government and some state governments to tackle violent conflicts have neglected women who are usually the most impacted by the negative effects of conflicts. Intervention strategies at all levels of government in Nigeria have mostly marginalize women and prioritize violent actors (mostly men). Arising from our finding that government at all levels in Nigeria have not done enough to assist and protect women‟s rights in conflict and post-conflict zones both in terms in of economic recovery and empowerment, as well as protection from gender-based and sexual violence, we recommend that there is need to amend national laws to make effective participation of women and women-based groups in government‟s conflict and post-conflict intervention efforts mandatory
