Climate Change, Migration and International Law: The Impacts of Climate-Induced Migration and Displacement on Women and Girls

Research has shown that women and girls are among the most vulnerable to climate change. Their mobility is primarily linked to gendered and societal norms, which leads to various forms of marginalization. This research paper aims to determine the connections between climate change, migration, and international law to examine how climate-induced migration and displacement affect women and girls. Then, it seeks to identify and examine laws and policies that address climate-induced migration and its adverse effects on women. In doing so, the practicality of developing gender-responsive policies to reduce various forms of marginalization against women and girls is advanced.
