The Silent Suffering

In the plains of Madhesh Province, rising temperatures and frequent heatwaves are becoming a harsh reality. While entire communities are affected, women often carry the heaviest burden, continuing their daily work such as cooking, collecting water, caring for families, and working outdoors despite the extreme heat. “The Silent Suffering” highlights the unseen struggles of women facing heatwaves and the health risks they endure with limited access to water, cooling spaces, and information. The video calls for greater awareness and stronger action to address the gendered impacts of climate change and ensure communities are better prepared for extreme heat.
