&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;As climate change increases the incidence of flooding, women in the northeast Indian state of Bihar are becoming more vulnerable to violence and trafficking&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;After devastating floods struck the northeastern Indian state of Bihar in August 2017, the country&amp;rsquo;s prime minister, Narendra Modi, conducted an aerial survey of the affected areas. At the time, nearly 3,000 square kilometres of the state were under water &amp;ndash; an area twice the size of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. According to official figures, the disaster killed 815 people and forced nearly 900,000 from their homes, leaving many with no choice but to live on roads, rail tracks and rooftops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Invisible from the prime minister&amp;rsquo;s helicopter, however, was the increased violence and insecurity unleashed upon girls and women of the region in the wake of the disaster.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Hema Devi*, a teenager from the district of Araria, was just one of the victims of this increased threat. The flood had submerged her village, forcing Hema and her mother to live in a makeshift tent along the national highway &amp;ndash; although this had become an almost annual occurrence. In February 2018, a man approached Hema&amp;rsquo;s mother offering to pay INR 5,000 (USD 67) to marry her daughter.&lt;/p&gt;

In Bihar, women face floods and increasing violence -Shreya Raman

-TheThirdPole.net As climate change increases the incidence of flooding, women in the northeast Indian state of Bihar are becoming more vulnerable to violence and trafficking After devastating floods struck the northeastern Indian state of Bihar in August 2017, the country’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, conducted an aerial survey of the affected areas. At the time, nearly 3,000 square kilometres of the state were under water – an area twice the size of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. According to official figures, the disaster killed 815 people and forced nearly 900,000 from their homes, leaving many with no choice but to live on roads, rail tracks and rooftops. Invisible from the prime minister’s helicopter, however, was the increased violence and insecurity unleashed upon girls and women of the region in the wake of the disaster. Hema Devi*, a teenager from the district of Araria, was just one of the victims of this increased threat. The flood had submerged her village, forcing Hema and her mother to live in a makeshift tent along the national highway – although this had become an almost annual occurrence. In February 2018, a man approached Hema’s mother offering to pay INR 5,000 (USD 67) to marry her daughter. Please click here to read more.
