The camp in Enugu has poor building infrastructure, insecurity, unavailability of necessities, and poor medical management. These complications influence their psychological well being negatively making recuperation difficult. This leads to an increased decline in their mental state. This dissertation was undertaken as a desk study to examine the mental state of women living in the Enugu IDP camp, monitor health services given to them, hygiene set up at the camp together with the design elements of the IDP camp to determine whether they offer women in the camp standard psychological and social services. Reviewed literature on the mental health of women living in the IDP camp were collected from Research Gate, Science Direct, and Relief Web. Grey literature gathered from organizations such as WHO, UNHCR, and OCHA were also analysed. Conclusions from the researched materials indicate that women living in the Enugu IDP camp need assistance when it comes to health service delivery, sexual and reproductive services, food, sanitation provisions, finances, and protection from gender-based violence and violations of their rights. Further, these women need sustainable long-term support, and their mental state challenges must be addressed for proper recovery, emotional sanity, and merging into the society again.
