Women and the climate plunder
How can we protect women in the event of climate disasters?
Global warming is real, and I believe there is no other way of going around this fact. Climate change impacts are being felt all over the world, and Bangladesh stands as the most vulnerable in the long run.
Excessive dependence on fossil fuels and how we are running out of alternatives to fight rising sea levels are more than just worrisome — melting ice caps in the Himalayas result in greater number of destructive floods in a region prone to life-threatening floods already.
Last month, Bangladesh, Nepal, and some parts of India suffered one of the most horrible floods in the history of their existence. While food shortage and vector diseases are a few of the greatest concerns at any point of calculating devastation left behind by the ravaging waves, it is, however, high time we start discussing impacts which go beyond the physical realms of devastation and are more humanely intimate and personal.
