South Asian Women Speak Out on Climate Change Adaptation -
"We Know What We Need."
"Climate change is affecting
everybody, regardless of caste, ethnicity, sex, race, or level of income. But
it is women who are suffering the most, simply because they are women, and
women are poorer. Women make up 70% of the world's poor. They have less access
to financial resources, land, education, health, and other basic rights than
men, and are seldom involved in decision making processes. Women are,
therefore, less able to cope with the impact of climate change and are less
able to adapt."
