Food insecurity is a growing concern for many women and girls. A significant number of them, over 172 million, are already at risk in countries that will likely be severely impacted by a weather phenomenon. This disruption to global weather patterns is expected to worsen due to climate change.

In nearly all the countries most vulnerable to this phenomenon, women and girls are more likely to experience hunger than men. The effects of this weather event will vary by region, with some areas facing drought and others experiencing floods. Further information on this issue can be found through ReliefWeb, which provides more details on the potential humanitarian crisis and its impact on local areas.
