Fatima Akilu is a Nigerian psychologist focusing on the fall-out from the brutal Boko Haram insurgency in the country’s north east. Fatima works with victims as well as perpetrators in an effort to reintegrate them into the community. Speaking to Kim Chakanetsa, Fatima describes how in her experience, female members of Boko Haram find it more difficult to sever ties with the organisation. Image: Fatima Akilu Credit: BBC
