In certain rural places women are often the first to feel the effects of climate change. Environmental instability can make women more vulnerable to poverty.
Hi Kenneth,
I fully agree with you. However recently I came a cross the following statement "
Recent efforts have examined associations between violence in Africa and climatic changes using gridded data that ignore national boundaries. Finally, in the African study with the highest spatial resolution, Miguel (2005) examines personal violence in Tanzanian villages (1992–2002) and demonstrates that murders of women accused of being witches rise in when local rainfall is extremely low or high. The relationship between climate and conflict is one of immense policy interest, and is a topic that has received substantial recent attention from researchers around the world."
