Afghanistan: Women and children most at risk as climate change and conflict drive migration in Afghanistan (Press release)
ActionAid – July 22, 2021
As rising insecurity and conflict engulf Afghanistan in the wake of the US and NATO troops withdrawal, new ActionAid research highlights the hidden crisis facing women and children forced to flee the increasingly severe climate disasters hitting the embattled country. The report, Invisible women: a gender analysis of climate-induced migration in South Asia, exposes how women and children are disproportionally affected by climate migration, which puts them at greater risk of gender-based violence, child labor, and exploitation.
