The results of the larger study are released so far: Environmental crisis is increasing violence against women

Efforts to repair environmental degradation and adopt the climate crisis, in particular in poor countries, are failing, and resources are being spent because they do not get gender inequality and the effects on women and girls seriously.

Activists have called on governments and institutions to take notes, saying the impact on women and girls should be at the heart of any sustainable strategy on climate and ecology.

The International Nature Conservation Unit [ The IUCN carried out what was supposed to be the most comprehensive and larger study on the issue so far, after taking two years and involving 1,000 sources of research, the Periscope translation, writes The Guardian.

We found that gender-based violence was widespread, and that there was enough clear evidence to conclude that climate change is increasing violence against women, said the Cate Owen, the lead author of the report that was published today.

“While environmental degradation and environmental decay is increasing, in turn it is creating a lack and stress in humans, and evidence tells us that when environmental degradation increases, gender - based violence increases. ”

Gender - based violence involves domestic violence, sexual assault, and rape, the obligation to prostitution, compulsory marriages, and child marriages, as well as other forms of female explosion.

The report found that human trafficking was greater in areas where the environment was becoming more degrading.

Women and girls are also tasked with such tasks as finding water in dry areas, and finding wood for heating and food needs, which is becoming even more difficult in many areas because of ecological impact and exposing them to increased violence. /Periscope
