CLIMATE ACTION , Gender Based Violence Prevention.
By Empowering women we are all Empowering Humanity”
Rising temperatures, falling family relations it’s a thorn in the flesh.
A world in chaos waiting with desperate hearts as Climate Change fuels a deadly refrain.
Floods, fires, droughts, Cyclones and famines leave families with heart-wrenching desires to survive without fear and to thrive.
The excess heat outside seems to have lit up fire on family unions causing havoc , disagreements and deadly fights.
Climate Change a fuel to Gender Based Violence leaving tears on the cheeks of children, women and men and regret is the only thing left in the mind of the offender _Climate Change, a root of GBV.
Increased known and unknown vulnerabilities of women and Girls
In displaced communities, forced marriages, abuse and sexual harassment.
The struggle to survive in a world awry leaves women and girls vulnerable passer-by
Everyone is torn apart.
“Rise, Modify , Adapt and Overcome Climate Action for a World Free from Gender-Based Violence”
