climate issue or Gender climate?

 

Fatema Miah:

In climate issue solution our activists and decision makers thought about climate and gender equality. I wrote in my last article about climate and equality.

Bangladesh has been hard hit by climate change, as shown in the case study. With the increasing trends in disasters, it had reached pole position amongst vulnerable countries. “The Climate Change Vulnerability Index  identified Bangladesh as the country most vulnerable to climate change in the world.”

Bangladesh is effected by climate and it’s a concern about  the repeated flood issue, true.  The most worse in the world, is that correct statement? There are other worse case flood issues we talked about. Yes, Bangladesh hasn’t a coping or resilient status or adopted mechanisms for dealing with flood as sufficiently.  They are talking about equality here and priority given to gender equality in climate issue.

The data had shown that hardest hit, both socially and economically, were women, and this prompted the Bangladeshi government to commit to gender equality within its constitution, to address and mitigate inequality by ensuring that in future women were considered when decisions on climate change issues were being made.

Why not priority given to:

Religious equality? In  flash flood, water gets contaminated therefore  washing for prayers water not halal clean,  Drinking water not halal. Prayers gets disturbed.

Age equality?  infants and elderly cannot move to safety safely and they need help?

Ability equality?  Ill and disable People are worse effected by flash flood.

Most importantly the CLASS?  The poorest labouring class of people are worse and hard effected.

Those women in Bangladesh big mouth talking taken stance are ill treating the poor women and girls. Making them to work in their houses and betting them up, cruel, unkind. They  don’t voice for poor women they talk for themselves ego, pretence, to be stand up. They are given into it by their men and our westerners. Political correctness, not to be correct just prove to be correct.

Who says flood effecting only women because of they are women? In about jobs and income we can say gender equality ok jobs weren’t given to, poor women struggle for money,  women  only because she is/they are women so gender equality comes in. Then gender equality gave women jobs without child care. In building construction sites carrying child and bricks. In the factories toddlers fidling around.

What gender equality about Climate? How would they apply ? It’s political; to be politically correct, in it correctness gets shoves off as I previously phrased. Children’s safety isn’t highlighted.

So-called gender equality in Bangladesh women are forced to hard labouring by gender equality.  It’s responsibility our academics are shy of the word? Or find it old phrase?. Then mother is old too and So is love oldest. It’s climate issue or gender climate?  We are concern about.

There they saying women must be included in climate plan discussion. Who saying men or women   is the factor.  More importantly why not have poor farmers, the street sellers, labouring women and rickshaw pullers in the discussion?  Would they bring those women working in house to house and on the street and currying bricks on heads,  to the discussion?

In USA uk and Europe mainly, and worldwide men decide womens health and medical sources. May be this is why in west women have better access to health care for womens health.  Effective inputs way better than position seeking womens winging.

By the way, gender equality phrase has been played with by men and also women of those same class men. Some people got chance to be in leadership role by gender equality game and even some women there play it. Poor Women and girls are often ill treated and tortured by owners wives and raped often by owners.

My example scenario: Amanda and David both human being and their health, wellbeing and needs to be taken care of. Necessity amount might differ and that’s need to be thought about. Support to be given to  people those are struggling more per needs and ability. Amanda childbearing kind, if not childbearing natal care shouldn’t be needed.  David should work in the field or pulling rickshaw, how able is he? Simple logic, care to be fair.

Further, in the name of women employment, women made to carry heavy loaded work in the gender equality new title field. Oppression and control is in the nature of class system. Not gender, it’s class and dictation, but they the same men and women get their position in by impressing western initiators.  Equality remain a formality.

Women abused by women. It’s class. Some in fact most women are abusive (as their men) worse towards women. They talk and fit in to take position by desire of their men to fit in and high up their ego. it’s again some vocalising power of few individuals draw the attention to their topic not to talk for the suffering of lower level people,  not for the needy, it’s power seeking work again.
