This scoping review and system dynamics modeling study examines the global literature on how climate shocks can negatively impact food security, which is associated with increases in gender-based violence.
This study is a scoping review of global literature examining the interplay between gender-based violence (GBV), climate change, and food insecurity, supplemented by system dynamics modeling to integrate findings. The authors identified a small but growing body of evidence, noting that most empirical publications lacked strong causal study designs. The system dynamics modeling, adapted from the COPEWELL framework, aimed to illustrate the time course of community functioning in response to disasters, conceptualizing both food security and safety from GBV as subdomains of community functioning. A key limitation noted is the paucity of strong causal evidence.
