Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed women and girls are the “primary victims of climate change.”
During the Forbes 30/50 Summit in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, the former Secretary of State went on a nonsensical tangent about women being victims of climate change, especially in Ukraine.
“Women and children are the primary victims of conflict and of climate change and there is no place that unfortunately, tragically, shows us that more dramatically than Ukraine today,” Clinton told the audience.

Clinton also said that COVID had a “disproportionate impact” on women and girls.

“We have been dramatically set back by two things: By Covid, which had a disproportionate impact on women and girls around the world and a lot of consequences such as increases in domestic violence, increase in child marriage, increase in unemployment. And we have seen organized pushback to the advancement of women,” Clinton said.
