Research on Climate Smart Technologies to Reduce Women's Drudgery and Time Poverty in Nepal supported by UNWomen Nepal

Women in rural areas, especially in developing countries like Nepal, face significant time poverty and physical labor burdens. Climate-smart technologies (CSTs) offer a powerful tool to reduce this burden and promote gender equality by addressing women's drudgery and improving efficiency in tasks such as agriculture, energy use, and water management.
