When Ethiopia suffered severe drought in 2022, #ChildMarriage doubled in 1 year. Poverty fuelled by #ClimateCrisis puts girls at more risk of child marriage as some parents use it to ease financial strain & 'protect' daughters - even though child marriage involves non-consensual sex with a minor

Growing up in this difficult context of generalized crises in the east of the Congo, I remained resilient by also helping inappropriate women by helping them to reimagine peace and the preservation of the environment, and to dream of a just world that they will be able to bequeath to their children.

Botswana’s government has spent many years, and many millions of dollars, preparing for natural disasters – just not this kind of natural disaster. The state’s attention, informed by decades of meteorological data, was focused instead on responding to drought. Not flooding.

Every time you purchase food from the store, you’re not just paying for the item; you’re also contributing to its carbon footprint. This includes everything from farming practices to transportation and packaging. By growing your own food, you drastically reduce this footprint.
