Women in Batikamari Char of Gaibandha are applying climate resilient farming methods to adapt to the impacts of climate change

People living in the bank of Teesta-Jamuna-Brahmaputra river are losing their lands and belongings to riverbank erosion caused by more intense and frequent floods. Number of climate migrants are also increasing as a result. Consequentially, women in the Batikamari Char of Gaibandha are experiencing a range of socio-economic challenges and health hazards. But against all odds, these women, determined to turn their luck around, have adopted different climate resilient farming methods such as growing vegetables on raised beds and taking up alternative livelihood options such as sheep rearing.
