水和土地是确保可持续和生产性农村经济所必不可少的重要资源。它们对于保障粮食安全和社会经济发展也至关重要。尽管如此，水-土地-粮食安全关系的概念一般是从上而下审查的，特别是妇女在获得和管理水和土地方面大多被剥夺了权利。与此同时，与气候危机有关的风险加剧了性别不平等。获得资源的机会有限，自上而下的管理限制了正式权利，这些都加剧了农村贫穷妇女的脆弱性。此外，政策制定程序遵循的是部门办法，没有考虑到各部门之间的相互关系和相互依存性。这直接和间接地限制了自然资源的管理和气候变化影响的缓解。因此，本研究通过对撒哈拉以南非洲地区文献的综合系统回顾，探讨了性别角色及其对气候变化中水、土地和粮食安全的影响。它进一步解释了考虑适应中的联系的重要性。如果妇女能够自由和充分地获得土地并参与决策进程，就可以确保粮食安全和可持续生计。
Water and land are vital resources essential to ensuring sustainable and productive rural economies. They are also essential for safeguarding food security and socio-economic development. In spite of this, the concept of water-land-food (WLF) security nexus has generally been examined from a top-down manner with women mostly disenfranchised in the access and management of water and land in particular. Concurrently, risks linked with climate crisis aggravate gender inequalities. The limited access to resources, restricted formal rights through top-down management exacerbates the vulnerability of poor rural women. Furthermore, policy development procedures follow a sectoral approach with no account of interrelationship and interdependence between the sectors. This, directly and indirectly limits the stewardship of natural resources and mitigation of the effects of climate change. This study, therefore, examines gender roles and their implications for water, land, and food security in a changing climate through an integrative systematic review of literature in Sub-Saharan Africa. It further explains the importance to consider the nexus in adaptation. Food security and sustainable livelihoods could be ensured if women can freely and adequately access land and participate in decision-making processes.
