This study applies a systems analysis to further our understanding of the many pathways linking climate stress to human (im)mobility and interpersonal violence via natural resource stress within eight countries across the Sahel region.

The vulnerability pathways included #gendered #immobility, interpersonal conflict, and #lack of social #protection, which provide important lessons and offer tangible opportunities for #policy interventions.

The vulnerability pathways often eroded (im)mobility and (mental) health, which ended up #entrapping people in extended cycles of #violence and #exploitation—especially certain intersectional positions and disadvantaged groups (whether within a household, society, or country).

Three thematic pathways emerged, namely (1) Gendered #Entrapment, (2) Interpersonal #Violence and Conflict, as well as (3) Legal and Social #Protection linking the diverse natural resources to different (im)mobility outcomes.

Gender norms restrict women’s social mobility as well as physical mobility. Women’s access to natural resources, assets, and decision-making is limited, which, alongside gendered barriers to market access, increases their financial insecurity.

Women may also end up ‘trapped’ in positions of vulnerability as their attachments to the domestic sphere undermine their ability to switch occupations as an adaptive response to adverse climatic conditions.
