Under this area, AFIDEP\u2019s work concentrates on the drivers of rapid population growth, especially high fertility, the status of women, unmet need for contraception, youth demographics, early childbearing and migration. Furthermore, the evidence we have generated through multiple research projects indicates that population dynamics, human health, environmental sustainability and economic development are interlinked. As such, for a sustainable tomorrow, matters of population need to be addressed. However, this can only be adequately undertaken where gender equality is considered. \u00a0That being said, women and girls are still highly underrepresented regarding climate change adaptation, mitigation, and response; though they bear the brunt of the burden.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Essay Details<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We <strong>invite women aged between 18-35<\/strong> to submit essays that underline the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How women and girls are affected by climate change<\/li>\n<li>What needs to be done to mitigate the effects of climate change on women and girls (policy-focused)<\/li>\n<li>How population and climate change are associated (Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights and Family Planning focus)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All essays should be backed by evidence and have at least 3 references from reputable sources.
