Today, three billion people—nearly half the world’s population—burn coal, wood, dung, or compost to heat their homes and cook their food. In addition to the deforestation associated with open fire cooking, especially in regions of conflict, the need for fuel often leaves searchers vulnerable, exposing them to risk of attack.This is particularly true in Darfur, where there are over two million displaced persons.
“Darfuri women must walk up to seven hours, three to five times per week, just to find a single tree…When women and girls spend extensive time outside of the camps, they become increasingly vulnerable to acts of violence,” according to the Darfur Stoves Project.
