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
