Weather disasters that happen more often because of climate change create conditions in which gender-based violence often spikes, according to new research.
The study, published in the journal The Lancet Planetary Health, reviewed research from five continents and found increased violence against women and girls in the aftermath of floods, droughts, hurricanes and other extreme weather events that are becoming more frequent as the planet warms.
The researchers scoured online databases to find studies on rape, sexual assault, child marriage and other forms of gender-based violence following extreme weather events.
Only 41 studies that assessed links between gender-based violence and extreme weather made the cut.
For instance, one study found that new moms were more than eight times as likely to be beaten by their romantic partners after Hurricane Katrina if they had suffered storm damage than before the storm hit. Five studies of good or fair quality linked drought in sub-Saharan Africa to upticks in sexual and physical abuse by romantic partners, child marriage, dowry violence, and femicide.
Few high-quality studies are available — and almost no data has been collected on the challenges faced by LGBTQ people following extreme weather events. The new study highlights the need for more and better research and for humanitarian organizations to engage with women and girls in climate-stressed areas about how best to protect them when disaster strikes, Savić Kallesøe said.
“Gender-based violence is happening all the time, everywhere,” Stark said. “We need to be preventing gender-based violence now … and to understand that if we don’t act now, the situation is going to increase exponentially with the impending climate crisis that we all know is upon us.”

utter
waste
of ink

money
spent
on
this
worthless
pile
of BS
called
a
study.
The old ‘RAT campaign slogan, “Woman, children and minorities hardest hit.”
People who come up with this BS should be taken to the public square and beaten with sticks. Men, women, doesn’t matter.
Studies say whatever those providing the funding want them to say.
Climate change. The Left’s Willy Wonka golden ticket attempt to get anything they want.
Exactly.
There isn’t anything Global Warming can’t do!!
Apparently
Forget Global Warming the Democrats are already doing this
Our tax dollars at work. Fire every single one of their leftist asses.
Why are sexual deviants different when it comes to “extreme weather events.” This is the largest buffalo chip I’ve ever seen. LOL.

Crazy Kool-Aid drinking cultists.
Subsidizing fatherless homes could intensify violence against women.
Much less a Leftist enviro-climate changeIdiot even remotely being able to define a ‘woman’ to boot.....
Poverty and hunger caused by shutting down the oil industry when there is no viable replacement for it, will harm women and children everywhere.
Guess they’re getting really desperate.
They have this Woke, Marxist agenda and then claim to have "studies" that back that agenda.
So now they all of a sudden know what a woman is?
All women or just minorities? Asking for a friend.
But we don’t know what a woman is.
