Abstract<\/h2>\n

Women\u2019s sexual behavior affect their physical, psychological and social wellbeing. Neglecting the sexual and reproductive health of women can lead to high social and economic crisis. Benue state is one of the states in Nigeria which is worse hit by insurgency (BokoHaram) and comfits (Farmers-Herders conflict),leading to Migration of people. The increase in the number of internally displaced people in camps promoted this research. Though research works on risky sexual behaviours among youths abound, very little is currently known on the role of female migration in enhancing risky sexual behaviour in Makurdi, Benue state. This study makes use of primary and secondary data. A total of 205 questionnaires were administered using the purposive systematic random sampling technique. Result showed female migrates between the ages of 15- 34 years being involved in risky sexual behaviour compared to those that are 44years and above (53.7%and19.5%respective). Conflict and unemployment are the major causes of risky sexual behavior (29.3%and23.4%respective). 20.5% had multiple sexual pattern, 25 9% had casual sex without the use of condom. Pattern of movement was largely rural\u2013urban. Increased alcohol consumption, depression, suicides, cancer, unwanted pregnancies, STDs are all consequences of risky sexual behavior. The Chi-square test was used for the level of significance between migration and risky sexual behaviour, and the findings showed apositive relationship between the two variables. This paper advocates the need to mitigate incidence of risky sexual behavior and provide policies that will ensure human security and economic empowerment<\/p>\n
