Reducing climate-related disaster risks in Bangladesh

Dulu helped inform her community of the role that women play when it comes to this issue, “Women are vulnerable in disasters, and we understand the needs and priorities of families, so we need to be included in the whole process.”

Though the community were initially uncertain of her work, they too realised that the climate is changing and these measures need to be taken to keep the people in the community safe.

She states, “The high tides are unpredictable, and they wash away our crops. Rains are erratic. It used to be easier to work outside, but now with the heat, it’s much harder. The crops turn red in the scorching sun. Cyclones are more frequent, and when they hit, there’s more damage than before.”
