Gender-based violence (GBV) is a significant and widespread social problem concern for human health. The determinants of GBV are complex include many factors that sensitive to the impacts climate change. However, links between have been understudied relative other In this narrative review, we describe how change can shape incidence through its effects on physiology psychological well-being, economic natural resources, migration patterns, access critical infrastructure services. Empirical theoretical gaps in body literature stem from an over-reliance traditional measures domestic household surveys non-representative set contexts. We argue researchers should develop new, multi-method approaches studying relationship variability, which allow more expansive understanding violence.
