Waiting for Winter

Le Bangladesh est le plus grand delta fluvial du monde, où des inondations dévastatrices se produisent chaque été. Lorsque l’hiver arrive, une île réapparaît dans la rivière Jamuna, et Arifa, une mère célibataire sans abri de 35 ans, se bat pour sa dignité, sa liberté et pour un foyer sûr dans un monde où toutes les chances lui sont défavorables.

Impact Statement
We want to see an alternative support system initiated to protect displaced families who are affected by climate change and natural disasters, so that their families don't break down and women don't turn into single mothers. We want to see homeless women, especially single mothers, rehabilitated to government housing projects on an urgent basis. The safety of single mothers must be ensured by law so that they feel secure in their community. If a mother is vulnerable, her children will be vulnerable, too. We want to see this cycle of vulnerability stop. We also would like to see women engaging in socio-political activities so that they get connected. We would like to show the effects of climate change at personal and family levels. Thus, we would like to raise awareness and help formulate inclusive policies about climate change internationally.
