SUBIA-CABRERA, Andrea Carolina  and  ROBLES-ALBUJA, Priscila Soledad. The Feminization of Climate Migration in Latin America: Gender and Intersectionality. Acad. (Asunción) [online]. 2026, vol.13, n.1, e1454.  Epub Mar 06, 2026. ISSN 2414-8938.  https://doi.org/10.30545/academo.2026.n1.1454.

The objective of this research was to analyze the feminization of migration resulting from the climate emergency in Latin America, with a particular focus on Ecuador. Grounded in a qualitative approach, utilizing an analytical method and documentary review technique, the study identified that forced migration driven by climate change necessitates a regional system for the protection of rights, especially in the case of women, who represent approximately 80% of the most vulnerable population. Due to the nexus between climate change and the feminization of migration, an intersectional perspective is essential for understanding the social inequalities experienced by women, as well as the increased burden of domestic and care responsibilities. Studies on the feminization of climate-induced migration require further development in the Latin American context.

Keywords : Feminization of migrations; climate; migrations; intersectionality.
