Abstract:
Gender-based violence (GBV) is a pressing issue exacerbated by climate disasters, impacting individuals globally. This study delves into the nexus of GBV and climate disasters, shedding light on underlying mechanisms, reporting challenges, and effective interventions. It elucidates how cultural norms, fear of reprisal, and limited access to support services contribute to post-disaster GBV silence. Promising interventions, such as survivor-centric approaches and community resilience initiatives, are explored, alongside key takeaways and areas necessitating improvement. The research emphasizes the critical need to address GBV within disaster contexts, urging collaborative efforts across sectors to bolster resilience, empower survivors, and advocate for policy reforms.
