Women, oceans and conservation

The world’s oceans are in crisis. Climate change has thrown marine ecosystems out of balance, as have pollution and ocean acidification.

The ensuing droughts, floods, and extreme weather events hit women and girls harder than men and boys, and threaten the livelihoods of the millions of women employed in fisheries.

UN Women works to address women’s and girl’s vulnerability to climate change and make them leaders in sustainable development.
