This episode explores the intersection of climate change and gender-based violence, drawing connections between environmental crises, poverty, and increased vulnerability to abuse. Participants from Zambia and Canada discuss the impacts of droughts, floods, and wildfires on displacement, economic pressure, and mental health, and how these conditions contribute to gender-based violence and sextortion.

The conversation highlights the shared challenges faced in different contexts, the importance of community-led solutions, and the need for education, awareness, and solidarity in addressing both climate and social justice issues.
