Project location- Myanmar and Nepal
Project budget– 1,849,500 THB
Donor– The British Academy, United Kingdom
Project duration – 28/Jun/24- 27/Dec/25
Primary SDG Goal of focus: 1. No poverty
Related SDG Goals of Focus: 5. Gender equality
Description– The project’s aim is to investigate how women-led organizations in Myanmar and Nepal have gained visibility as climate crisis activists, while exploring their responses to the intersections of gendered inequalities, conflict, and poverty. Building on previous UKRI-funded research, which revealed a spike in intimate partner violence (IPV) following cyclical flooding, the project will return to the same regions for a longitudinal analysis. It seeks to update and expand the understanding of how local organizations address climate-related challenges and gender-based violence, comparing changes over time and assessing their preparedness to respond to these crises.
