UN GLOBAL RESISTANCE TO CATASTROPIC CONVERGENCES in YEMEN and Around the World: Reproductive Injustices, Climate Chaos: Sea Levels Rising, Pandemics  

“The pain is unbearable.”   Climate Action @ USA FOR UNFPA <info@usaforunfpa.org> 
“The pain is unbearable,” Amina told us after losing her daughter to a catastrophic flood in Yemen.  The rainy season has been particularly volatile this year and women and girls are bearing the brunt of its devastating consequences.  During climate disasters, women and girls are more likely to experience violence, less likely to have enough to eat, and too often, they lose their lives because they are never taught essential survival skills like how to swim. . . .Countless families like Amina’s are relying on your compassion as they begin to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of climate disasters in Yemen and around the world. Will you rush lifesaving assistance to families wherever you support is urgently needed?

It’s impossible to separate reproductive justice from climate action, and this is abundantly clear in a country like Yemen.

Yemen ranks third globally among the world’s most vulnerable countries to climate change. It is also one of the most dangerous places to give birth and home to one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises.   — USA for UNFPA
