Biography

I am a Social Safeguarding specialist and I have been concerned with the Gender Based Violence in the Environment where women seek livelihoods in male dominated work spaces such as the blue economy, sand harvesting and stone crushing. The later occupations have a big impact on the environment and are increasing climate change problems. I have began an advocacy work against climate change exacerbated GBV.
