The disproportionate impact of heatwaves on women, especially older women, raises concerns about societal resilience and preparedness. Vulnerable groups, including those living alone and those engaged in unpaid care work, face heightened risks. The lack of gender-sensitive data and planning in climate resilience frameworks may exacerbate these disparities. Furthermore, extreme weather events are linked to increased stress, financial burdens, and mental health challenges, which can lead to a rise in gender-based violence and domestic abuse.
