Nepal Scoping Study: Amplifying Voices of Indigenous Women and Girls with Disabilities on the Nexus of Climate Change and SRHR

Categories:

Climate change is a global emerging discourse with impacts and challenges in developing countries like Nepal. The impacts of climate change especially to multiple marginalised groups like Indigenous women and girls with disabilities is acute. These intersecting multiple marginalised social identities overlap, intersect, and add compounding layers of challenges, discrimination and social exclusion due to the impact of climate change at different levels which are yet to be researched and debated in the public spaces with evidence.

This study was conducted in seven provinces of Nepal to amplify the voices of Indigenous women and girls with disabilities to understand the nexus of climate change and SRHR. The objective of the research was to generate evidence on the nexus of climate change and SRHR related to Indigenous women with disabilities; to understand the impacts of climate change and barriers in accessing SRHR services by Indigenous women and girls with disabilities through their lived experiences; and to open discourse around the nexus of climate change and SRHR and provide recommendations to different stakeholders for policy interventions.
