Colliding crises : how the climate crisis fuels gender-based violence. Issues brief Spotlight initiative and Dahlberg - Spotlight Initiative, 2025 - electronic document (19 pages) ; PDF file

This brief aims to spark conversation and collaboration across climate and VAWG actors to end violence against women and girls as a foundational – and urgent – part of the climate action agenda. Specifically, it:

● synthesizes the best available evidence on how climate change is exacerbating VAWG and introduces a quantitative perspective of the scale of impacts;

● sheds light on overlooked forms of violence that threaten progress on climate change, especially violence that seeks to silence women environmental human rights defenders;

● shows how ending VAWG is critical to effective climate action and a just transition;

● offers ideas on how climate and VAWG actors can better work together. (From the website). Record #9308
