The United Nations estimates 80% of people displaced by climate change are women, putting them at greater risk of violence, including sexual violence.

In this episode, we discuss the often overlooked role of climate change in exacerbating violence against women, why women are so disproportionately affected by climate related natural disasters and how women in some regions of the world are more impacted than others.

We’ll also consider some of the challenges of researching the effects of climate change on women and how governments and humanitarian organisations should be adapting their climate responses to include the impacts of violence against women.

Our guests are:

Aimée-Noël Mbiyozo - Senior Research Consultant at the Institute for Security Studies in Pretoria, South Africa.

Jeanne Ward - Internationally recognised expert on Violence Against Women and Protection against Sexual Exploitation and Abuse.

Your hosts are:

Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, SVRI

Ayesha Mago, Global Advocacy Director, SVRI
