Working Women In Coastal Areas
Women in a coastal area are showing algae at a shrimp farm in Khulna, Bangladesh, on April 27, 2024. They are earning $2.7 for five hours of work. These women, who work in saline water for extended periods, are suffering from skin-related issues. They face higher risks and greater burdens associated with climate change. Thousands of women in Bangladesh are experiencing devastating reproductive health issues due to the increasing salt content in the water where they live and work, which threatens their health, safety, and the well-being of their families and communities.
