Inside a secret forced abortion program undertaken by the military in Nigeria

Reuters uncovered a systematic and secret abortion program by Nigeria’s Army targeting women who had been kidnapped and often raped by Islamist militants. The program ended at least 10,000 pregnancies among women and girls, according to documents and sources.

We also found that the Nigerian Army targeted children for killing under the belief they were, or would become, insurgents themselves. Reuters spoke to more than 40 sources who said they saw the Nigerian military target and kill children or saw the dead bodies of children after a military operation.
