“…In their reviews of women's role in wildlife trade in Africa and Europe, Gore (2020, 2022) summarized the different roles women have been found to play, from practical administrative roles in poaching syndicates (Hübschle, 2014) to more subtle "encouragement" of their male kin and connections who are engaged in poaching (Sundström et al, 2020). Women from forest-adjacent communities worldwide are also known to actively enter the forest to forage for herbs and other plants (Price and Ogle, 2012), and have been documented hunting opportunistically (Andrew and Agu, 2022).…”

The hunting and consumption of wildlife is a global practice with practices that are socially nested, mediated, and shared across social categories, including gender. Research into wildlife trade increasingly recognizes the importance of understanding and investigating social drivers and processes of hunting and consumption. However, studies of social norms, motivations, and actions specific to women are still lacking within wildlife trade literature, particularly within Southeast Asia. Women are central to how a society operates and to societal practices, and they are fundamental actors in initiating change in these practices. In Southeast Asia, women are especially powerful actors within resident matrilineal and bilateral societies. This article will reflect on wildlife trafficking through the roles and activities of women. While women’s narratives are lacking across all current wildlife trade research, I will highlight in this article critical research gaps, gender-specific issues in methodology, and important research opportunities.

“…To analyze and find solutions to alleviate the social injustices related to environmental change, the dynamic processes and power relations that render the sight of vulnerable groups should be revealed, rather than a descriptive account of who is poor, female, and where (Ackerly, 2016). Feminist political ecology examines the nexus among gender, politics, and ecology that theorizes that gender is an essential variable in how a person interacts with and understands the natural environment in which they live (Andrew and Agu, 2022). The central idea of the feminist political ecology is that men and women have different experiences, responsibilities, and interests concerning nature due to gender differences in human-nature interactions.…”

Water access and environmental migration are crucial global development issues to be examined from an interdisciplinary perspective. Although climate change and water-related dimensions of migration have been widely studied, a gendered lens on this topic is scarce in the current academic literature. To address this gap, I use insights from feminist political ecology and a water-migration-gender nexus to analyze the gender aspects in women's experiences, challenges, and opportunities due to climate change and water stressors. After conducting a systematic literature review, 67 articles were appraised for quality and included in the synthesis to review existing policies. In the discussion section, based on these existing policies, I propose integrated governance strategies that could synergically mitigate water-related problems and (non) migration challenges with a neglected gender focus so that women and girls can prepare to be more resilient to the social, economic, and environmental changes in everyday life. This paper engages with vulnerability, tolerance, and adaptation of women and girls to socio-ecological changes around the water discourse, and it proposes a conceptual framework for the integrated governance strategies to understand better the connection between water-related security risks and development problems resulting from climate change, (non) migration, and gender.
