A gendered impact of the hunger and drought crisis in the horn of Africa
The current drought and hunger situation in the Horn of Africa is considered the worst in the last 40 years. Pre-existing unequal gender norms are more often compounded during crises, including hunger due to drought. Beyond general health, girls are impacted by drought through more limited access to education, increased gender-based violence, and a reduction in sexual and reproductive health and rights.
