16. The Long Road
by Eduardo Arraes
Brazil
Water is an issue in Sierra Leone. What may
come easy for some may come very hard for
others. Climate change affects the whole world,
but for developing countries the consequences
are worse. Marginalized population, although
contributing so little for the climate change, are
the ones who suffer the most. In many cases,
women are responsible to get water for the family
while their husbands try to make a living in the
city. So they need to walk kilometers under a
harsh sun to find some for their families at the
same time caring for their children. Climate
change also produces gender issues.

themselves.
