According to the United Nations, women make up 80% of people displaced by climate change. Women are more vulnerable to displacement due to their limited access to resources and their caretaking responsibilities such as water collection and management. As droughts become more frequent due to climate change, women have to travel longer distances to fetch water, which affects their health and safety.
