Climate change vulnerability is not an emerging issue but the importance of adaptation is always neglected. Inequity makes women’s health vulnerable from their birth and regional variation makes it more prominent specially due to climate change vulnerability. Disparity in healthcare access is more problematic in third world countries like Bangladesh and it occurs at each level: individual, family, social and even in regional variation. Men’s perception about women’s health is not satisfactory at rural-coastal level in Bangladesh and the problem is more deeply rooted in disaster prone areas where early marriage and adolescent pregnancy are just in epidemic always.
Muhammed Ashraful Alam There is no doubt about this that climate change crisis makes women's health more vulnerable. But this is true only in developing and in countries/regions where there are huge gender disparities exist already, and climate change just exaggerates this.
Thanks for sharing. We can't overlook gender disparity dear Ilan Kelman and men should be vocal to ensure equity rather than women.
Women are back seated even in adaption too, it's not for all countries. It'smore prominent in third world countries where gender stratification is deeply rooted in their culture and climate change is an extra burden dear Nur Çelik Efşan
