Structural inequalities play out at an individual level to create gendered experiences of violence . Violent conflict is experienced differently by men and women because of gender norms that already exist in society and shape vulnerabilities. For example, conflict deepens gendered vulnerabilities to climate change related to unequal access to land and livelihood opportunities . Motivations for inter-group violence may be influenced by constructions of masculinity, for example the responsibility to secure their family's survival or pay dowries , and gendered roles may incentivise young men to protest or to join non-state armed groups during periods of adverse climate . Research has found a positive correlation between crop failures and suicides by male farmers who could not adapt their livelihoods to rising temperatures .
