This study analyse the impact of insecurity on the participation of rural women in crop production North-East, Nigeria, with the sole aim of focusing on the severity of insecurity challenges particularly insurgency, which disrupted agricultural activities across the farm area and to highlight areas they may require policy intervention for improvement. Purposive, snowball, and simple random sampling method was employed for the selection of 403 respondents with the aid of well-structured questionnaire along with interviews. The data were analysed using probit model. The results revealed that insecurity affects rural women participation significantly. Where annual income has a positive and statistically significant at (p<0.005). The marginal effect of farm income is (0.287), which means that every naira increase in farm income results in 28.70% increase in the chance of participating in crop production. The result further revealed that the frequency of attacks is negative (-2.588**) and statistically significant (p<0.005). This means that an increase in the frequency of insecurity attacks will reduce rural women’s participation significantly, pseudo R2 of 0.221 and log likelihood indicating that 214.119, the model had best fit for the data. The study therefore recommend policy maker should developed security strategy to mitigate incessant attack, this can only be successful when concerted effort by community leader, stakeholder NGOs and government.
