Generally, women across the world do not have equal access to resources and in many societies, they are debarred from the decision-making process and deprived of job payments.
Our premier Sheikh Hasina called upon the women leaders, for taking bold and decisive actions in this COP for a global compact to build communities resilient to climate change in a way where everyone - both man and woman - can participate equally.
As we are in the procedure of leaving the coronavirus pandemic behind, climate change is still lingering and wreaking havoc in people’s lives and livelihoods and it will remain to do so if we do not take drastic initiatives to tackle the effects of worrying climate change which we are in kind of denial for a long period of time.
Amid that process, we must also empower women, who can become a major part of the solution. This will show that the help we provide is more comprehensive and considerate of the misery that women face because of climate change. We should provide opportunities for women and equip them with the skills and knowledge that are necessary to become part of our country’s climate change pliability.
