Women with Disabilities and Climate Change: A book by Loreto Brossard

The book "Women with Disabilities and Climate Change" comprehensively addresses how women with disabilities are disproportionately affected by climate change. The author emphasizes how conditions of poverty, stigmatization, and discrimination exacerbate the vulnerability of these women to natural disasters and adverse environmental conditions; limited access to resources and healthcare services, physical and infrastructural barriers, and social discrimination. Brossard also proposes inclusive solutions ranging from public policies to community initiatives, to solve some of these issues.
