Fareeha
Fareeha, 43, is a resident of Karachi's Ibrahim Hyderi who has faced the devastating impacts of climate change on her family's livelihood as a fisherman. Once reliant on the freshwater resources of Badin, her community has been severely affected by seawater intrusion, leading to barren lands and forcing her family into brick kiln labor. Fareeha's struggles reflect the broader plight of approximately 80% of fishing families in Badin, who have been displaced and economically destabilized due to climate-induced changes, highlighting the disproportionate impact of climate change on marginalized communities.
