Policy

“Erratic rainfall is of no use to our agriculture. Men have started migrating because agriculture is losing productivity. So women have to look after their children, manage agriculture, livestock and fetch water which is becoming more and more distant. If women do not have time to take care of children, the children’s care, health and education will suffer. So clearly climate change will hit women harder." (November, 2012).
