🌍 Climate change is not just an environmental issue; it’s a profound human rights challenge that disproportionately affects women and girls. Climate change increases health risks for women and girls, including: 🔥 Heat-Related Illnesses: Rising temperatures lead to more cases of heat exhaustion and heatstroke. 🦟 Vector-Borne Diseases: Diseases like dengue fever are becoming more widespread due to changing climates. 🍽️ Food Insecurity: Crop failures and disrupted food supplies lead to malnutrition and hunger. 🌊 Menstrual Hygiene: Access to menstrual hygiene products is often disrupted during natural disasters, affecting health and dignity. 🚨 Gender-Based Violence: Natural disasters heighten vulnerability to gender-based violence, as resources become scarce and social structures break down. We must act now to address these issues. Together, we can create a safer, healthier future for all women and girls. #WEChangeJA #ClimateJustice #girlupcaribbeans
