Women-led Climate Justice

Integrating climate change, gender and SRHR

While sexual and reproductive health services often remain overlooked in humanitarian relief and crisis situations, we know they are just as critical and time sensitive as food and emergency medicine. Realizing the urgent need to address climate change, Ipas Nepal initiated its work on the intersection of climate change, gender and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Our dedicated teams work tirelessly to ensure these SRHR services are readily available, leaving no one behind. As communities confront the urgent need to prepare for and respond to climate emergencies, Ipas Nepal is committed to creating holistic strategies that prioritize the needs of women and girls—the most impacted by these challenges.
