Nitya Rao
Title
Professor of Gender and Development, School of International Development, UEA
Bio
Nitya Rao champions gender equality and women’s empowerment in climate change hotspots throughout Africa and Asia - areas where climate change exacerbates gender inequality.
A researcher, teacher, trainer and social activist, Nitya’s gender analysis has a strong focus on households and intra-household dynamics. It takes an intersectional lens to understand the multiple disadvantages that particular groups of women, or indeed men, confront. This could relate to ethnicity, race, caste, marital status or even age hierarchies.
Nitya’s recent project "The Sustainable Food Systems" sub-project of the Global Research Translation Award is addressing food and nutrition insecurity in India, a problem confronting a vast majority of women and children, especially in rural, indigenous communities.
