Natural disasters have a profound impact on communities, but women and girls often bear the brunt of these crises. Their roles in caregiving and household management can exacerbate their vulnerability during such events.
Access to health services and hygiene products becomes critical during disasters, yet many women find these resources limited or unavailable, further endangering their well-being.
Additionally, the risk of sexual violence increases during forced displacement caused by climate change, highlighting the urgent need for protective measures and support systems for affected women and girls.
