Gender inequality coupled with the climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges of our time. It poses threats to ways of life, livelihoods, health, safety and security for women and girls around the world.
It is important to acknowledge that the climate crisis is not “gender neutral”. Across the world, women depend more on, yet have less access to, natural resources. In many regions, women bear a disproportionate responsibility for securing food, water, and fuel. Agriculture is the most important employment sector for women in low- and lower-middle income countries. During periods of drought and erratic rainfall, women, as agricultural workers and primary procurers, work harder to secure income and resources for their families. This puts added pressure on girls, who often have to leave school to help their mothers manage the increased burden.
Climate change is a “threat multiplier”, meaning it escalates social, political and economic tensions in fragile and conflict-affected settings. As climate change drives conflict across the world, women and girls face increased vulnerabilities to all forms of gender-based violence, including conflict-related sexual violence, human trafficking, child marriage, and other forms of violence.
The expression “the increased burden”, which closes the second paragraph, refers to women’s difficulties and responsibilities that increase because of the climate crisis in agricultural countries.

Comentário do professor
Comentário: A expressão “the increased burden” refere-se, de fato, às dificuldades e responsabilidades que as mulheres enfrentam devido à crise climática, especialmente em países agrícolas. O texto destaca como as mulheres, que já têm um papel crucial na segurança alimentar e na coleta de recursos naturais, enfrentam uma carga ainda maior durante períodos de seca e mudanças climáticas. Isso resulta em uma pressão adicional sobre elas e, consequentemente, sobre suas filhas, que muitas vezes precisam abandonar a escola para ajudar em casa. Portanto, a afirmação está correta, pois conecta diretamente a situação das mulheres às consequências da crise climática.
