Overview

Cross-sectional survey reveals climate stressors disrupt sexual and reproductive health rights of women, indicating urgent need for adaptation.

Key Points

  • The research investigates how climate change-induced stressors affect women's sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in Ghana.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional survey of 387 women aged 18-35 in coastal Ghana.
  • Examined six climate-related stressors and their impact on four domains of SRHR.
  • Utilized multivariate logistic regression models to assess associations while controlling for sociodemographic factors.
  • Loss of income significantly associated with reduced reproductive autonomy (OR = 1.88; 95% CI: 1.42–2.49).
  • Displacement linked to increased risks to sexual safety and dignity (OR = 2.08; 95% CI: 1.53–2.83).
  • Women with disabilities had higher odds of adverse outcomes (OR = 2.27; 95% CI: 1.21–4.26).
