Join us for the upcoming forum on March 8, 2022 from 11:30 AM-12:30 PM on the ‘Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Livelihoods of Women'. Climate Change is a threat across the globe to all livelihoods but people working in agriculture, especially women, are more burdened by the impact of climate change. This will further widen the inequalities in agriculture. Gender inequality in the labour market, specifically in the cases of developing nations is one of the great challenges. The pandemic has hit the lower rung of the occupation hierarchy, especially women working in the informal economy.
There are various socioeconomic variables at play such as lower access to resources compared to men, and poverty. In addition to this, women are considered primarily responsible for collecting water to meet agricultural and household needs. There need to be agencies in place across regions that could help in strategizing how best to create measures and interventions for areas with large female populations that are exposed to high degrees of climate risks.
