Around the world, climate change is driving .

Already, an estimated 20 million people are displaced due to extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, typhoons and droughts. As the climate crisis intensifies, this number is at risk of growing.

Doing so would advance climate justice in practice, save lives, prevent displacement, reduce economic losses, and strengthen resilience.

Unprocessed trauma places people at greater risk of becoming homeless, due to heightened likelihood of family breakdown.

At Depaul Ukraine's children's centres, caregivers, who are primarily women, can take part in psychosocial support sessions.

These sessions help people to process trauma, heal bonds within families, and improve their wellbeing.

This is just one way Depaul Ukraine are supporting women at their services.
