RE: https://mastodon.social/@mattsheffield/117516225845738102 The scariest is the woman saying she’d be willing to give up her *daughter’s* right to vote, because she knows she’ll marry “a biblical man”. Thank God there’s no abuse, sexual or otherwise, by “biblical” men. If these women want to sit out the next few elections, I’m okay with that.

#Women #Dramasi #Fiji Women in Dramasi, Tavua are waking up as early as 2 or 3 in the morning and climbing over a hill to collect water as climate change continues to dry up water sources in the community. Pacific Centre for Peacebuilding Executive Director Florence Swamy says the women have to collect water during the night because if they wait until the sun comes up, animals go to the water source and contaminate it https://www.fijivillage.com/t/dramasi-women-wake-at-2am-to-collect-water-as-climate-change-dries-up-water-sources-607d76/ #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #environment
