Description
Leso Munala and co-authors link extreme weather to intimate partner violence in farming regions of East Africa in a 2023 study. Crop failure and income shocks can ignite household conflict, and the team tested that chain with survey and disaster data from Uganda, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique.
Women in regions hit by severe weather reported violence at markedly higher odds. The increase was about twenty-five percent in Uganda, thirty-eight in Zimbabwe, and ninety-one in Mozambique. Data came from national demographic surveys joined to an international disaster database. The authors ground the analysis in a framework tracing how shocks strain households into violence. They argue climate policy and violence prevention can no longer be planned apart.
