Migration decision-making and outcomes-in both general terms and in response to climatic risks-are strongly mediated by gender, social context, power dynamics and human capital . Women tend to suffer disproportionately from the negative impacts of extreme climate events for reasons ranging from caregiving responsibilities to lack of control over household resources to cultural norms for attire . In many cultures, migrants are most often able-bodied, young men . Women wait longer to migrate because of higher social costs and risks  and barriers such as social structures, cultural practices, lack of education and reproductive roles .
