Climate-Induced Exile: Intersectionality, Refugee Women, and the Dynamics of Conflict and Negotiation

It examines the social, economic and cultural impacts that Latin American women face in the face of displacement caused by the climate crisis. Using a multidimensional approach, it analyses how climate disasters exacerbate pre-existing structural inequalities, exposing women to greater risks and limiting their adaptive capacity in contexts characterised by patriarchal structures. It highlights the emergence of women climate refugees as a catego-ry that strains international legal frameworks and poses new challenges for global gov-ernance. The study highlights the need for gender-sensitive policy and institutional re-sponses that recognise women as both vulnerable populations and agents of social change. This contribution broadens the understanding of the links between climate change, gender and forced migration in Latin America.
