[Wigsat-l] WEDO's new study: Gender, Climate Change and Human Security

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

"We the women are responsible for feeding our families. The bush has  
now become a desert shrub in my area and there is nowhere to go to  
fetch wood...One day, unable to find enough wood after a long search,  
I used some branches to cook. Since the wood was not enough, I cut my  
plastic bassinette in pieces to fuel the fire...Then I took the wooden  
bench where I was seated and cut it to feed the fire..." - Satou  
Diouf, Gadiag, Senegal (ENDA; 2008)

WEDO announces our groundbreaking new study, Gender, Climate Change  
and Human Security.  Commissioned by the Greek chairmanship  
(2007-2008) of the Human Security Network, and facilitated by the  
Hellenic Foundation for European & Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP), this  
study contributes to a comprehensive examination of the impacts of  
climate change on vulnerable populations.  Irene Dankelman is the  
primary author, and country-specific case studies were written by  
Yacine Diagne Gueye (ENDA- Senegal), Rose Mensah-Kutin (Abantu-  
Ghana), and Khurshid Alam, Wahida Bashar Ahmed and Naureen Fatema  
(ActionAid- Bangladesh).

Please find the study in the gender & climate change library on our  
website!
