The interactions between prevailing gender gaps and climate variability and change (CVC) response strategies can intensify inequalities among farmers. Hence, this study examined implications of CVC response strategies on gender relations among farmers in Southeast Nigeria and ways of mainstreaming gender into the strategies. Specifically, it scrutinized the implications of CVC response strategies on gender relations; compliance of response strategies with equity dimensions and ways of mainstreaming gender into response strategies among farmers in SE region. Data were collected in various stages using focus group discussion, key informant interview and household (questionnaire) surveys of 150 men and 150 women farmers. Data analysis was performed using mean, standard deviations, and Pearson's chi-square in SPSS software. Findings revealed thatuse of government supports increase gender inequality because it provides limited gender sensitive response strategies. In addition, use of migrations cause women to spend more time on care giving works (p = 0.004). The response of men and women were significantly different for some variables that complied with contextual equity like the setting up of crop and animal insurance; procedural equity such as crop diversification (p = 0.020), and distributive equity such as the support of farmers to increase crop production. Gender differences (p < 0.05) exist in some ways of mainstreaming gender into response strategies such as improving women's training on access to fund, ensuring higher access to finance by women, and gender mainstreaming into traditional norms. Hence, this study recommends the use of gender-specific and equitable interventions such as providing trainings in line with needs of men and women to improve their information, technologies, knowledge and capacity for efficient use of CVC response strategies. In addition, there is need for sensitization of local communities to allow improved access to finance and economic resource for women in order to reduce gender inequalities and promote effective use of CVC response strategies.

普遍存在的性别差距与气候变异和变化 (CVC) 响应策略之间的相互作用会加剧农民之间的不平等。因此，本研究考察了 CVC 响应策略对尼日利亚东南部农民之间性别关系的影响以及将性别纳入策略的主流方法。具体而言，它审查了 CVC 响应策略对性别关系的影响；符合公平层面的应对策略，以及将性别纳入东南地区农民应对策略主流的方式。通过焦点小组讨论、关键知情人访谈和对 150 名男性和 150 名女性农民的家庭（问卷）调查，在不同阶段收集了数据。在SPSS软件中使用平均值、标准差和Pearson卡方进行数据分析。调查结果显示，使用政府支持会加剧性别不平等，因为它提供了有限的性别敏感应对策略。此外，迁移的使用导致女性将更多时间花在护理工作上（p = 0.004）。对于一些符合情境公平的变量，如建立作物和动物保险，男性和女性的反应有显着差异；程序公平，例如作物多样化 (p = 0.020)，以及分配公平，例如支持农民增加作物产量。性别差异 (p < 0.05) 存在于将性别纳入应对策略主流的某些方式中，例如改善妇女获得资金的培训，确保妇女获得更多资金，以及将性别纳入传统规范。因此，该研究建议使用针对不同性别的公平干预措施，例如根据男性和女性的需求提供培训，以提高他们有效使用 CVC 响应策略的信息、技术、知识和能力。此外，需要提高当地社区的敏感度，使妇女能够更好地获得金融和经济资源，以减少性别不平等并促进有效利用 CVC 应对策略。
