In a major step toward addressing the multifaceted crises faced by women in Bangladesh's coastal belt due to climate change and rising salinity, a set of integrated livelihood plans and guidelines has been finalized.
These strategic tools were presented recentlyat a validation workshop titled "Resilient Futures: Gender-Responsive Livelihood Materials and Climate Pathways," held at a hotel in Dhaka.
The Department of Women Affairs (DWA) under the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs, in collaboration with the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE), is currently implementing a specialized project across five upazilas in Khulna and Satkhira.
Titled "Gender-responsive Coastal Adaptation (GCA)," the project aims to enhance the adaptive capacities of coastal communities, particularly women, to cope with climate change-induced salinity.
