Abstract

The global challenges of climate change, economic instability, and political crises disproportionately affect populations living in poverty, with women seasonal agricultural workers being among the most impacted. Internally displaced women engaged in agricultural labour face compounded vulnerabilities due to the intersecting dimensions of gender, socio-economic class, and ethnicity, a phenomenon described as “triple injustice” in this article. This study investigates the impacts of climate change on internally displaced women (IDP) in Türkiye’s agricultural sector, employing an intersectional framework grounded in political economy. Using a phenomenological methodology, qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and detailed field notes in rural regions where agriculture constitutes the backbone of the economy. The findings reveal that climate change exacerbates the social exclusion and marginalisation of internally displaced women, intensifying their precarity and structural vulnerabilities. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between climate change, intersectionality, and social inequities, offering critical insights for policy interventions aimed at fostering equity and resilience.
