> The past decade has witnessed an unprecedented rise in global temperatures, with each year setting new records as the warmest. This increase—driven by human-induced climate change—results in more frequent and intense droughts, floods, erratic weather patterns, and natural disasters. These slow- and sudden-onset weather events make working conditions in already precarious labour sectors, such as agriculture, fishing, or garment production, unbearable. They also destroy many people’s homes and livelihoods, forcing them to undertake risky migrations or accept exploitative jobs, thereby increasing their vulnerability to exploitation and human trafficking. To unpack some of these dynamics, the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women organised a webinar to analyse how the worsening climate crisis is impacting workers and migrants. Speakers discussed changing working conditions in countries across Asia, Africa, and the Americas, the strategies that communities are implementing to resist resource extraction and exploitation, and what steps workers are taking to protect their rights and improve their working conditions.

> The conversation was inspired by the latest issue of the journal Anti-Trafficking Review on this topic: https://antitraffickingreview.org/index.php/atrjournal/issue/view/36

Most states don't care or want to spend time doing caring about people home or elsewhere. #Extractions

And caring will always #undermine / change their #power #perspectives #capturing people / #monopoly / #trafficking etc.

All people come with mental baggage and historical war residue which many can't accept or want to help with

#SoftWar is harder to see than #HardWar)

Yes save people from #war but soft war is not great at solving things long-term.
