Dear John,
Soumika Mondol is 22 years old and pregnant with her first child. She lives with her husband and in-laws in the coastal village of Koyra in Bangladesh. During Cyclone Amphan in May 2020, the family lost their house.

The region where Soumika lives has suffered many severe cyclones in recent years, increasing the salinity of the water and making it unsafe for humans and inhospitable to crops.

“In the past we grew rice, but since the cyclones, nothing is growing in our land,” Soumika says ([link removed]) .

Of the estimated 26 million people who have been displaced by climate change, 20 million are women ([link removed]) .

We need to be taking an intersectional approach to climate change.
