Problem:
Climate change is an escalating global crisis with disproportionate effects on women, particularly regarding exposure to gender-based violence (GBV), which influences both the natural and human systems. Yet, a limited number of studies quantified the intersection between climate-related stressors and GBV among women of reproductive age, which remains underexplored.
Background:
Environmental disruptions such as droughts, heatwaves, and floods are increasingly linked to violence against women. These stressors often intensify economic hardship, displacement, and psychosocial stress factors known to elevate gender-based violence GBV risk.
Aim:
This study aims to systematically explore the association between climate-related stressors and experiences of gender-based violence GBV, including intimate partner violence (IPV), sexual violence, and child marriage among women aged 15–49 years.
Methods:
A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Six databases were searched for peer-reviewed studies (2010–2024) reporting empirical data on climate stressors and GBV. Eligible studies included quantitative or mixed-methods research focused on women of reproductive age. Data were extracted and assessed for risk of bias using the ROBVIS tool.
Findings:
The findings of this study indicated that seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria. Most were from low- and middle-income countries. Droughts and extreme heat were consistently associated with increased IPV, child marriage, and sexual violence. Mediating factors included displacement, food insecurity, and mental health challenges.
Discussion:
Climate-related stressors amplify GBV risks via multiple pathways. Displacement, economic strain, and disrupted social protection mechanisms heighten women's vulnerability during environmental crises.
Conclusion:
Climate adaptation efforts must incorporate gender-responsive strategies to prevent and respond to GBV. Addressing this intersection is essential to safeguard women’s health, rights, and resilience in a warming world.
