Women and girls with disabilities face unique vulnerabilities in the face of climate change, yet they are too often left out of climate policies, programs, and decision-making. The Advocacy for Women With Disabilities Initiative (AWWDI) proudly presents a groundbreaking publication:
👉 Baseline Survey on Gender and Disability Inclusive Climate Change Policies This report shines a light on how Nigeria’s climate policies measure up when it comes to inclusion — and where critical gaps remain.
🔍 Why This Report Matters
🌱 Climate change is not gender-neutral — and it’s not disability-neutral.This report reveals how environmental hazards like flooding, drought, erosion, and extreme heat disproportionately affect women with disabilities due to limited access to early warnings, mobility, shelter, clean water, healthcare, and relief interventions. 🚫 Current climate policies often overlook disability and gender intersections.
Findings show that national and sub-national policies rarely address the lived realities of women with disabilities — leaving them vulnerable, unheard, and unprotected. 📢 The report calls for urgent reform.
It offers concrete recommendations to policy makers, development actors, and climate justice advocates on how to mainstream gender and disability inclusion across all levels of environmental policy.
