80% of the world’s resources are looked after, consolidated by women across the globe. If that is not an agenda that Women Peace and Security Council should look at — because there is so much violence against them — I don’t know what else we should be looking at,” remarked scholar and peace activist Asha Hans, in the latest edition of Prajnya’s Gender Talks series, throwing light on the dismal state of progress at the intersection of gender and climate change.

While global organisations and councils have long since recognised both climate change and women’s security as subjects of change, Asha laid out the reality of how one is rarely seen in conjuncture with the other — in an illuminating conversation on the subject of Gender, Climate Change and Securitisation.
