Deslocados ambientais: análise de sua (des) proteção sob a perspectiva de gênero

Abstract

This article analyzes the lack of legal protection for environmental refugees, with a specific focus on the condition of women in this context. The increasing frequency of climate disasters and their social impacts reveal a normative gap at both national and international levels for this group. The research follows a qualitative approach, using the deductive method and bibliographic review of international documents, institutional reports, and scientific articles. Empirical data show that displaced women are more vulnerable to gender-based violence, especially in temporary shelters, highlighting the urgent need for specific public policies and for expanding the legal concept of refugee. The analysis is guided by categories such as risk society, gender, and human rights, proposing affirmative actions to ensure effective protection for women in environmental refugee situations.
