From 2022 to 2023, Bonhishikha participated in the Global Knowledge Initiative’s AI4Resilience Challenge, where it proposed Feminist Action for Climate Change (FACC) as a platform to engage in collective action, addressing both existing and emerging climate interventions.
To support FACC, Bonhishikha collected data and stories in Shyamnagar, Satkhira, using them for awareness-building and advocacy through print and engagement. The findings revealed that rising salinity and sea levels have rendered land unusable, forcing women to engage in unsafe shrimp fishing. Water scarcity has added to their daily burdens, while exposure to saltwater causes severe health complications, especially for young women. Many women face heightened social vulnerability, with some being abandoned by their husbands. Gender-diverse individuals struggle to secure livelihoods, shelter, safety, and healthcare, challenges that are further worsened by natural disasters and social ostracisation.
