Is climate change causing child marriage? It is NOT that simple. 👇

1/ Welcome to Part 2 of our #ClimateBridesMap series. We’re tracing how climate change deepens the structural drivers of child marriage in South Asia. We focus on: Gendered Labour Burdens in a Changing Climate. 👩‍🌾💧Text: @reetiks.bsky.social Art: @doremai.bsky.social Support: @cam-repro.bsky.social

🌍 New from our colleague @reetiks.bsky.social: As climate shocks disrupt education and livelihoods, girls are increasingly pushed into early marriage across South Asia. @climatebrides.bsky.social Read this piece here: scroll.in/article/1082...

📢 @reetiks.bsky.social, via #ClimateBrides, shows how climate shocks—job loss, school closures, displacement—drive early marriages in South Asia. Urges urgent adaptation to protect adolescents. @scroll.in @developmentuea.bsky.social scroll.in/article/1082...

While often explained through the lens of tradition or poverty, child marriage is increasingly shaped by a force largely absent from most climate adaptation frameworks: the accelerating environmental crisis scroll.in/article/1082...

☘️🌐 We're launching the #ClimateBridesMap series. We begin with Gender Inequality—because it is not just a backdrop, it is the system that decides who gets protected in a crisis and who gets married off. Let’s break it down. @cam-repro.bsky.social @reetiks.bsky.social @doremai.bsky.social (1/9)

Poster by yours truly for the phenomenal @reetiks.bsky.social and @climatebrides.bsky.social.

We also exhibited our #ClimateBridesMap and showcased our recent film made on the @climatebrides.bsky.social podcast. Special shout out to @doremai.bsky.social for her compelling artwork! 🌻 Watch the film: youtu.be/apeZrp0GylA?...

With right-wing clampdowns on gender/climate issues, last night's #CambridgeFestival panel felt timely. The talk on Reproductive Justice w/ @cam-repro.bsky.social showed how climate change is already impacting lives back home. Grateful to share this through our work at @climatebrides.bsky.social 🌱
