Working Women In Coastal Areas
A woman is showing her wrinkled hands, which are suffering from skin issues due to working in salt water for extended periods. Women in the coastal area are earning $2.7 for five hours of work in Khulna, Bangladesh, on April 27, 2024. Women from these areas are working in saline water for long durations, which leads to various skin problems. They often face higher risks and greater burdens associated with climate change. Thousands of Bangladeshi women are experiencing devastating reproductive health issues caused by the increasing salt content in the water where they live and work, posing threats to their health and safety, as well as affecting the well-being of their families and the stability of their communities.
