The present study explores the status of women occupy the state of “poorest of the poor”; often denied access to land, credit and other fundamental rights. The study employs qualitative research methods of in-depth, one to one interview. The sample distributed in 2 age groups, i.e. 11 women aged 40 to 60 and 11 women of 25 to 35 were taken to examine the trends of climate change. The results demonstrate that climate change is negatively affecting the livelihood of people, especially rural women. The study concludes that climate change is making women more vulnerable to poverty and increasing their dependency on men and proves that the effects of climatic extremes lead to women’s further subordination and marginalization. Although this research analyses the effects of climate change on women, there is a dire need to mitigate these effects in the preparedness phase of disaster management so that women's increasing vulnerability can be controlled.
