Impact of Heat Stress on Informal Sector Women Workers
2020
The study takes into account the health conditions, economic factors, and living conditions of women and how the heat impacts them. It will help in understanding the link between climate change and gender and how it affects everyone differently owing to the vulnerabilities and inequalities existing in society. It also enabled the understanding of what initiatives are expected and needed to be taken by the government regarding the problems faced due to heat stress. The results would help in evolving policy lessons for a gender-sensitive heat stress action plan for cities.
The Training Module provides an insight for the Medical stakeholders and practitioners into how heat stress can trigger gender specific health issues and enable them to understand how to identify the individual health impacts of heat stress and be able to more efficiently relay these concerns more effectively.
This review report is critical for identifying gaps and to improve the existing HAPs. It will also act as a manual for preparation of future HAPs in the South Asia region.
