Gendered effects of climate change and health inequities among forcibly displaced populations: Displaced Rohingya women foster resilience through technology

Journal of Climate Change and Health, Volume 18, 1 July 2024

Rohingya women displaced in Bangladesh demonstrate tremendous resilience in the face of severe gender restrictions and risks to personal safety exacerbated by climate change. They have employed information and communication technologies to share health information and resources, resist restrictions on their mobility, and forge new opportunities for themselves; efforts that contributed to controlling the risk of COVID-19 transmission within the camp in early 2020 and generating an innovative early-warning system to combat disasters exacerbated by climate change.
