ON THIN ICE, US

Amaia, 11, an Inupiat girl, standing on sea ice floating in the Arctic Ocean off Barrow, Alaska. Climate change threatens fundamental parts of her daily life – thinning ice prevents access to traditional sources of food and the ability to safely travel, while increased coastal flooding and erosion decimate community lands. According to a UN report: “Around the world, climate change-induced crises have also been shown to worsen domestic violence, whether in relation to sexual and reproductive health or discrimination against indigenous communities.” One in five women who are refugees or displaced because of environmental crises has experienced sexual violence. 2016.
