Climate change
Climate change amplifies existing gender inequalities and places women and girls at greater risk of violence. As climate-related disasters intensify, women and girls have become more vulnerable to sexual violence, exploitation, and human trafficking. These disasters also disrupt people’s livelihoods and access to resources, increasing the risks and threats women and girls face. Unless we tackle gender-based violence, dealing with issues caused by the climate crisis, such as reducing the impact of these shocks and helping communities adapt, will be much harder.
