The impacts is very crucial based on the differential roles of men and women in the society. It undermines poor livelihoods, food security etc. During these hard times, its women who have to put food in the table, they have to trek miles away to fetch water for household consumption.
A sad moment is when it floods and women die easily because they are never taught how to swim in flooding, ravaging waters.
It is a sad moment on how climate change impacts disproportionately hits hard on women.
Climate change impacts negatively to women more than men because they are more vulnerable, hence gender inequality. This causes hunger due to loss of livelihoods.
