Working Women In Coastal Areas

Two Bangladeshi women are cleaning algae in a shrimp farm in a coastal area, during the ongoing heat wave across the country. Women in the coastal area are earning $2.7 for 5 hours of work in Khulna, Bangladesh, on April 27, 2024. Women from coastal areas are working in saline water for extended periods, which is why they also suffer from skin-related issues. Women commonly face higher risks and greater burdens associated with climate change. Thousands of Bangladeshi women are facing devastating reproductive health issues caused by the increasing salt content in the waters where they live and work, threatening not only their health and safety but also the well-being of their families and the stability of their communities.
