Empowering Voices: A Feminist Approach to Climate Change [5:53]

Growing evidence indicates that women and girls are disproportionately impacted by climate change — particularly in the global south, according to a recent report by U.N. Women. The report emphasizes that women's limited access to economic resources hinders their ability to adapt to changing weather patterns, disrupting infrastructure and public services. Laura Turquet, a policy advisor at U.N. Women, stresses the necessity for a "feminist" approach to climate change, centering the knowledge and experiences of women and girls. As the U.N. Climate Change Conference unfolds in Dubai, Turquet discusses these crucial perspectives with VOA's Nabeel Biajo.
