Understanding the Intersection of Gender and Climate Justice in the SWANA Region: With Findings from Morocco, Sudan and Tunisia

The South West Asia and North Africa (SWANA) region, encompassing countries such as Morocco, Tunisia, and Sudan, is confronted with multifaceted challenges arising from climate change and gender inequality. These challenges necessitate a comprehensive policy response that recognizes and addresses the intersection of climate justice and gender equality.

This policy report focuses on the often-overlooked relationship between climate crisis and gender injustice, emphasizing the particular context of climate change in Sudan, Tunisia, and Morocco. It seeks to identify the implications of the climate crisis on gender-specific policies, such as Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), early, forced, and child marriage, as well as the marginalization of sexual and gender minorities.

By employing a participatory approach, this research seeks to amplify the lived experiences and opinions of marginalized communities in these countries striving to overcome climate and gender inequalities.
