This research paper demonstrate the stories of struggles of poor women from Bangladesh, India and Nepal to protect their life, home, assets and livelihoods from water induced hazards. It provides the evidence that women living in flood areas have started to adapt to a changing climate even with limited resources, information and support. Women’s priorities include a safe place to live and store their harvest and livestock during the monsoon season, better access to services such as agriculture extension; training and information about adaptation strategies and livelihood alternatives; and access to resources to implement effective strategies and overcome constraints.
