Liddwa Liddwa Women Challenged to Challenge and Handicap International - Humanity & Inclusion joined forces for this study, supported by Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde | Institute of Tropical Medicine

What women documented is hard to ignore:
❗️ Floods, heat and drought are already damaging health — injuries, infections, dehydration, sunburns, even cancer risks
❗️ Access to healthcare collapses when roads flood, costs rise, or information isn’t accessible
❗️ Climate stress is fuelling violence, including GBV, and deep mental health distress
❗️ Everyday essentials — water, food, housing, livelihoods — are becoming less secure
❗️ And yet, despite all this, women are largely excluded from climate and health decision-making
