Climate change is one of the defining crises of our time, and people’s sexual and reproductive health and rights are affected by this crisis. The effects of climate change amount to a global public health, economic, humanitarian and gender equality catastrophe. <\/span><\/p>\n

The effects of climate change exacerbate social inequalities, including gender inequalities, and mainly affect women and people with more vulnerable capacities -such as girls, indigenous, rural, Afro-descendant, poor, and those with low levels of schooling- in multiple and intersectional forms of discrimination.<\/p>\n

Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperatures and weather patterns that may be natural or due to human activities. These processes alter the composition of the atmosphere. In other words, damage to the territory that generates desertification, water scarcity, fires, floods, melting of glaciers, droughts, among others. <\/span><\/p>\n

Communities are increasingly faced with the need to prepare for and respond to growing climate emergencies to mitigate the effects on their populations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Climate phenomena such as drought and desertification are causing civil unrest and migration. The United Nations Environment Program estimates that 80% of the people displaced by climate change are women<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, sexual and reproductive health services are often “invisible” compared to emergency food and medicines in humanitarian relief efforts and crisis situations, yet services such as contraception and abortion are also indispensable and sensitive on a par.<\/span><\/p>\n

Women and girls disproportionately bear the brunt of climate-related phenomena and environmental stress. Women are more vulnerable to the impact of climate change, just to list some of its consequences on this population: <\/span><\/p>\n
