This chapter focuses on the daily-lived experiences of women in natural resource-situated communities, illuminating how the industry contributes to gender gaps in the unequal allocation of benefits and hazards. Because the paternalistic socio-structural configurations that characterise most Global South societies make the role of women in energy concerns secondary, women are not expected to be involved in matters like power generation and fuel distribution. However, evidence shows that women’s voices, responsibilities, and understanding of the environment and the issues they encounter are critical to the adaptive response to a rapidly changing climate. Arguing from the complementary theory-praxis approaches of gender mainstreaming and human rights, this chapter proposes that women’s issues, needs, and contributions must be integrated throughout the planning and execution phases of energy projects and climate change policies in energy frontiers such as Nigeria’s Niger Delta. This is the only way genuine the sustainable development and other dimensions of the UN Sustainable Development Goals can be achieved.
