Abstract

This study examines the impact of compliance with National Committee of Red Cross principles on armed conflict and its effects on the female gender in Nigeria. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods. Data were sourced from primary and secondary sources, including surveys, interviews, and existing literature. The findings reveal that compliance with National Committee of Red Cross principles significantly reduces the vulnerability of women and girls to violence, exploitation, and abuse during armed conflicts in Nigeria. The study also highlights the critical role of the National Committee of Red Cross in promoting humanitarian law and principles, and in providing protection and assistance to women and girls affected by armed conflict. The research concludes that enhancing compliance with National Committee of Red Cross principles is crucial for mitigating the impact of armed conflict on women and girls in Nigeria. The study recommends that the Nigerian government, the National Committee of Red Cross, and other stakeholders work together to strengthen the implementation of humanitarian law and principles, and to provide adequate protection and support to women and girls affected by armed conflict.
