Multi-Year Drought Gives Birth to Extremist Violence, Girls Most Vulnerable

By Manipadma Jena
SEVILLE & BHUBANESWAR, Jul 2 2025 – While droughts creep in stealthily, their impacts are often more devastating and far-reaching than any other disaster. Inter-community conflict, extremist violence, and violence and injustice against vulnerable girls and women happen at the intersection of climate-induced droughts and drought-impoverished communities.

Five consecutive years of failed rain in Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya brought the worst drought in seventy years to the Horn of Africa by 2023. In Somalia, the government estimated 43,000 excess deaths in 2022 alone due to drought-linked hunger.

As of early current year, 4.4 million people, or a quarter of Somalia’s population, face crisis-level food insecurity, including 784,000 people expected to reach emergency levels. Together, over 90 million people across Eastern and Southern Africa face acute hunger. Some areas have been enduring their worst ever recorded drought, finds a United Nations-backed study, Drought Hotspots Around the World 2023-2025 released today at the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4).

High tempera­tures and a lack of precipitation in 2023 and 2024 resulted in water supply shortages, low food supplies, and power rationing. In parts of Africa, tens of millions faced drought-induced food shortages, malnutrition, and displacement, finds the new 2025 drought analysis, Drought Hotspots Around the World 2023-2025, by the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the U.S. National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC).

It not just comprehensively synthesizes impacts on humans but also on biodiversity and wildlife within the most acute drought hotspots in Africa (Somalia, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Botswana, and Namibia), the Mediterranean (Spain, Morocco, and Türkiye), Latin America (Panama and the Amazon Basin) and Southeast Asia.

Desperate to Cope but Pulled Into a Spiral of Violence and Conflict

“The coping mechanisms we saw during this drought grew increasingly desperate,” says lead author Paula Guastello, NDMC drought impacts researcher. “Girls pulled from school and forced into marriage, hospitals going dark, and families digging holes in dry riverbeds just to find contaminated water. These are signs of severe crisis.”

Over one million Somalis in 2022 were forced to move in search of food, water for families and cattle, and alternative livelihoods. Migration is a major coping mechanism mostly for subsistence farmers and pastoralists. However, mass migration strains resources in host areas, often leading to conflict. Of this large number of displaced Somalis, many crossed into territory held by Islamic extremists.

Drought in a Sub-Saharan district leads to 8.1 percent lower economic activity and 29.0 percent higher extremist violence, an earlier study found. Districts with more months of drought in a given year and more years in a row with drought experienced more severe violence.

Drought expert and editor of the UNCCD study Daniel Tsegai told IPS at the online pre-release press briefing from the Saville conference that drought can turn into an extremist violence multiplier in regions and among communities rendered vulnerable by multi-year drought.

Climate change-driven drought does not directly cause extremist conflict or civil wars; it overlaps and exacerbates existing social and economic tensions, contributing to the conditions that lead to conflict and potentially influencing the rise of extremist violence, added Tsegai.

Though the effects of climate change on conflict are indirect, they have been seen to be quite severe and far-reaching. An example is the 2006-2011 drought in Syria, seen as the worst in 900 years. It led to crop failures, livestock deaths and mass rural displacement into cities, creating social and political stress. Economic disparities and authoritarian repression gave rise to extremist groups that exploited individuals facing unbearable hardships.

The UN study cites entire school districts in Zimbabwe that saw mass dropouts due to hunger and school costs. Rural families were no longer able to afford uniforms and tuition, which cost USD 25. Some children left school to migrate with family and work.

Drought-related hunger impact on children

Hungry and clueless about their dark futures, children become prime targets for extremists’ recruitment.

A further example of exploitation of vulnerable communities by extremists is cited in the UNCCD drought study. The UN World Food Programme in May 2023 estimated that over 213,000 more Somalis were at “imminent risk” of dying of starvation. Little aid had reached Somalia, as multiple crises across the globe spread resources thin.

However, al-Shabab, an Islamic extremist group tied to al-Qaida, allegedly prevented aid from reaching the parts of Somalia under its control and refused to let people leave in search of food.

Violent clashes for scarce resources among nomadic herders in the Africa region during droughts are well documented. Between 2021 and January 2023 in eastern Africa alone, over 4.5 million livestock had died due to droughts, and 30 million additional animals were at risk. Facing starvation of both their families and their livestock, by February 2025, tens of thousands of pastoralists had moved with their livestock in search of food and water, potentially into violent confrontations with host regions.

Tsegai said, “Drought knows no geographical boundaries. Violence and conflict spill over into economically healthy communities this way.”

Earlier drought researchers have emphasized to policymakers that “building resilience to drought is a security imperative.”

Women and Girls Worst Victims of Drought Violence

“Today, around 85 percent of people affected by drought live in low- and middle-income countries, with women and girls being the hardest hit,” UNCCD Deputy Executive Secretary Andrea Meza said.

“Drought might not know boundaries, but it knows gender,” Tsegai said. Women and girls in low-income countries are the worst victims of drought-induced societal instability.

Traditional gender-based societal inequalities are what make women and girl children par­ticularly vulnerable.

During the 2023-2024 drought, forced child marriages in sub-Saharan Africa more than doubled in frequency in the four regions hit hardest by the drought. Young girls who married brought their family income in the form of a dowry that could be as high as 3,000 Ethiopian birr (USD 56). It lessened the financial burden on girls’ parental families.

Forced child marriages, however, bring substantial risks to the girls. A hospital clinic in Ethiopia (which, though, it has outlawed child marriage) specifically opened to help victims of sexual and physi­cal abuse that is common in such marriages.

Girls gener­ally leave school when they marry, further stifling their opportunities for financial independence.

Reports have found desperate women exchanging sex for food or water or money during acute water scarcities. Higher incidence of sexual violence happens when hydropower-dependent regions are confronted with 18 to 20 hours without electricity and women and girls are compelled to walk miles to fetch household water.

“Proactive drought management is a matter of climate justice,” UNCCD Meza said.

Drought Hotspots Need to Be Ready for This ‘New’ Normal

“Drought is no longer a distant threat,” said UNCCD Executive Secretary Ibrahim Thiaw, adding, “It is here, escalating, and demands urgent global cooperation. When energy, food, and water all go at once, societies start to unravel. That’s the new normal we need to be ready for.”

“This is a slow-moving global catastrophe, the worst I’ve ever seen. This report underscores the need for systematic monitoring of how drought affects lives, livelihoods, and the health of the ecosystems that we all depend on,” said Mark Svoboda, report co-author and NDMC Founding Director.

“The struggles experienced by Spain, Morocco and Türkiye to secure water, food, and energy under persistent drought offer a preview of water futures under unchecked global warming. No country, regardless of wealth or capacity, can afford to be complacent,” he added.

Global Drought Outlook 2025 estimates the economic impacts of an average drought today can be up to six times higher than in 2000, and costs are projected to rise by at least 35% by 2035.

“It is calculated that $1 of investment in drought prevention results in bringing back $7 into the GDP lost to droughts. Awareness of the economics of drought is important for policymaking,” Tsegai said.

The report released during the International Drought Resilience Alliance (IDRA) event at the Saville conference aims to get public policies and international cooperation frameworks to urgently prioritize drought resilience and bolster funding.

LONDON, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EBC Financial Group (EBC) has been recognised by two leading industry award bodies in 2025, reinforcing its position as a trusted broker via the Best CFD Provider award by Online Money Awards and Most Trusted Broker and Best Trading Platform titles at the World Finance Forex Awards 2025.

EBC’s wins at the World Finance Forex Awards mark the third consecutive year the Group has received honours from the awarding body—an indication of its sustained performance in both technology execution and client trust metrics. The 2025 dual awards build on EBC’s previous recognitions in 2023 and 2024, highlighting its consistent delivery of robust trading solutions across global markets.

The acknowledgments span both product delivery and trust metrics, reflecting EBC’s operational focus on execution quality, platform innovation, and client protection within regulated trading environments.

Driving Growth with Thematic and Tactical CFD Solutions
EBC’s recent launch of over 100 U.S.–listed ETF CFDs has expanded its multi–asset product suite and positioned the Group at the forefront of thematic trading innovation. These instruments give clients real–time, leveraged access to ETFs across a broad spectrum of global narratives—including clean energy, U.S. tech, dividend–yielding assets, fixed income, and emerging markets.

The offering features ETFs from leading issuers such as Vanguard, iShares (BlackRock), and State Street Global Advisors, with key advantages including zero fund management fees, leverage options and short–selling capabilities as well as real–time execution and low–cost access to NYSE and NASDAQ–listed assets.

This expansion aligns with EBC’s strategic focus on delivering smarter exposure tools—enabling traders to respond quickly to macro shifts, hedge market views, or construct diversified portfolios with precision.

Platform Innovation and Client Experience at the Core
Beyond product growth, EBC continues to enhance its platforms with features such as smart liquidity routing, expanded multilingual support, and ultra–low latency execution. Proprietary tools like the Trading Black Box and Private Room help optimise price aggregation, protect trade integrity, and elevate the trading experience across retail and institutional segments.

These upgrades contributed to EBC’s recognition as Best Trading Platform at the 2025 World Finance Forex Awards, while the Most Trusted Broker title acknowledged the Group’s long–term dedication to governance, client protection, and relationship–building in regulated markets.

From Parliaments to the G20: A Call to Champion Women’s Sexual & Reproductive Health & Rights

By Priyanka Chaturvedi, Mokhothu Makhalanyane and Rajat Khosla
GENEVA, Jul 2 2025 – About 21 million adolescent girls get pregnant annually in low- and middle-income countries. Beyond the numbers lie lost futures and deepening cycles of poverty that undermine girls’ education, wellbeing, and, ultimately, national development.

Recent geopolitical shifts, policy regressions and foreign aid reductions have deepened inequalities and disrupted essential health services, especially in fragile settings. The combined toll of war, pandemics, and climate crises has overwhelmed systems and threatened decades of hard-won gains in women’s, children’s, and adolescents’ health.

Investing in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)

Protecting and promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is not a luxury—they are foundational to sustainable development, gender equality, and economic resilience. Empowering women to make informed decisions about their reproductive lives is a proven driver of prosperity.

Every dollar invested in family planning and maternal health in low- and middle-income countries yields a return of $8.40, improving workforce participation, family well-being, and social stability.

Despite this compelling evidence, gaps remain staggering. In 2021, 164 million women of reproductive age had an unmet need for contraception, and in 1 in 3 (30%) of women have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime.

Parliamentary Action to Protect and Promote SRHR

In these challenging times, parliamentarians are emerging as essential actors in protecting and advancing SRHR. Through progressive legislation, strategic budget allocations, and oversight of programmatic implementation, parliamentarians are uniquely positioned to ensure that the SRHR remain a national and global priority. Their work holds governments accountable and ensures that policies are grounded in the lived realities of communities.

The G20 Parliamentary Conference, held in Cape Town, South Africa, on 5 and 6 May, and co-hosted by the Government of South Africa alongside regional and global parliamentary networks—including the Eastern and Southern Africa Parliamentary Caucus for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Sustainable Development, and the Global Parliamentary Alliance for Health, Rights and Development, among other partners and with participation from regional parliamentary networks such as the Network of African Parliamentary Committees on Health – was a milestone in reinforcing this role.

Parliamentarians from across the world came together to issue a united call to action for the G20 to center women’s and girls’ health in its development agenda.

They aligned on ten shared priorities as a call to action to the presidency of the G20:

    • Strengthening political will and parliamentary action;
    • Affirming global commitments for women’s health;
    • Countering Anti-Gender Politics and Protecting Women’s and Girls’ Rights;
    • Ensuring Accountability and Transparent Monitoring;
    • Investment in Women’s and Girls’ Health for Economic Prosperity;
    • Investing in Women and Girls in STEM to Strengthen Health Systems
    • Addressing Global Health Funding Gaps
    • Empowering Youth for a Healthier Future;
    • Leveraging Science and Technology to Improve Health Outcomes;
    • Addressing the Impact of Crises on Women and girl’s Health;

A working group has been established to support progress on these priorities and track results over time.

Furthermore, accelerating implementation of global and regional frameworks and instruments such as the Beijing Political Declaration, Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa through parliamentary action is critical to advancing SRHR.

These frameworks provide a strong foundation for gender equality and human rights, but their impact depends on national legislation, budget allocation, and policy oversight. Parliaments play a key role in translating these commitments into enforceable laws and ensuring accountability for their implementation, thereby safeguarding the rights, dignity, and health of women and girls.

But their success also depends on how the G20 responds.

G20 Leadership on SRHR

With its influence over 85% of global Gross World Product and approximately 60% of the world’s population, the G20 holds unparalleled power to catalyze investments, shape policy direction, and set the tone for global cooperation.

Despite decades of progress, preventable maternal deaths, unsafe abortions, child marriage, and unmet contraceptive needs still rob millions of girls and women of their health, autonomy, and future.

Future G20 presidencies must put women’s, children’s and adolescent health issues including SRHR at the heart of their health and development agenda — ensuring these population groups are not just beneficiaries, but agents of change.

By prioritizing SRHR, the G20 can unlock ripple effects across all development indicators—from reducing poverty and inequality to fostering inclusive economic growth. It can also reinforce democratic institutions and stabilize communities through investments that honor bodily autonomy, gender justice, and social accountability.

We call on future G20 leaders to commit to bold, coordinated action to expand access to comprehensive SRHR services: from modern contraception and maternal care to youth-responsive services and gender-based violence prevention and screening for cervical cancer.

We urge them to fund and implement people-centered policies that reflect the lived realities of women and girls—especially those who are most marginalized.

Parliamentarians have laid a clear roadmap. It is now up to the G20 to act. This is not merely a matter of health—it is a question of justice, opportunity, and leadership. A world where every woman and girl have the power to control her body is a world that is stronger, safer, and more resilient for everyone.

The time for action is now. The G20 must lead with courage, invest with foresight, and stand with the parliamentarians and communities working tirelessly to ensure that no woman or girl is left behind.

Priyanka Chaturvedi is a Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha, Parliament of India; Mokhothu Makhalanyane is Chair of Chairs and Chairperson of Health Committee, Parliament of Lesotho; and Rajat Khosla, is the Executive Director, Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH).

DitchIt fait exploser l’emblématique enseigne du siège social de Twitter

SAN FRANCISCO, 02 juill. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dans un geste spectaculaire qui reflète parfaitement l’esprit provocateur de la Silicon Valley, Ditchit, la nouvelle place de marché en ligne concurrente d’OfferUp, a fait la une des journaux en acquérant et en détruisant l’oiseau bleu de Twitter original d’environ 250 kg qui trônait autrefois au sommet du siège social de Twitter à San Francisco.

Tourné dans le désert du Nevada, cet événement explosif a mobilisé une équipe de production de 15 personnes, quatre Tesla Cybertrucks et un expert en pyrotechnie hollywoodien. Plus qu’un simple spectacle, cette initiative a pris la dimension d’une déclaration pleine d’audace : Ditchit est là pour défier les géants technologiques traditionnels et créer un marché qui privilégie les personnes plutôt que les profits.

« Elon Musk a rebaptisé Twitter « X » en vue d’encourager la liberté d’expression. Nous faisons de même pour les marchés locaux. », a déclaré James Deluca, porte–parole de Ditchit. « Les plateformes actuelles sont envahies par les publicités, les frais et les algorithmes qui favorisent les entreprises au détriment des utilisateurs. La plateforme Ditchit est différente car elle est gratuite, sans publicité et conçue pour octroyer plus de pouvoir aux communautés et aux vendeurs réels. »

Le logo de Twitter de 3,6 mètres, connu sous le nom de « Larry », a été acquis plus tôt cette année pour la somme de 34 000 dollars. Initialement acheté pour sa valeur symbolique, Ditchit a finalement choisi de transformer cette icône en une déclaration de rupture.

La vidéo de la fin explosive du panneau, désormais disponible sur YouTube, immortalise un moment cinématographique qui fait rapidement le buzz.

Mais l’histoire de Larry, l’oiseau bleu, est loin d’être terminée. Des morceaux de l’enseigne emblématique ont été rassemblés et seront vendus aux enchères dans le cadre d’une vente aux enchères sous pli cacheté sur l’application Ditchit à partir d’aujourd’hui. Tous les profits de cette vente aux enchères seront reversés au Center for American Entrepreneurship, une organisation à but non lucratif qui se consacre à l’encouragement de l’innovation et au soutien de la prochaine génération d’entrepreneurs.

« Beaucoup d’entrepreneurs font leurs débuts sur des applications de marché local », a déclaré Monsieur Deluca. « Nous nous engageons à soutenir cette démarche, non seulement grâce à notre plateforme, mais également par le biais de mesures concrètes. »

Avec cette initiative, Ditchit ne se contente pas de détruire un symbole des géants de la technologie, mais inaugure une nouvelle ère pour les marchés locaux, placée sous le signe de la transparence, de l’accessibilité et de la communauté.

À propos de Ditchit

Ditchit est une place de marché locale conçue dans un esprit communautaire. Contrairement aux plateformes traditionnelles, son utilisation est entièrement gratuite, sans publicité ni frais, ce qui rend l’achat et la vente simples et équitables. Fondée en 2024, l’application Ditchit est disponible sur iOS et Android.

DitchIt sprengt ikonisches Twitter-Logo

SAN FRANCISCO, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mit einem spektakulären Coup hat sich Ditchit – der aufstrebende Online–Marktplatz und OfferUp–Rivale – im Einklang mit der Kultur der Disruption im Silicon Valley eindrucksvoll ins Rampenlicht katapultiert: Das Unternehmen erwarb das originale, 560 Pfund schwere Twitter–Vogel–Logo vom Dach des früheren Twitter–Hauptquartiers in San Francisco – und sprengte es kurzerhand in die Luft.

Begleitet wurde die in der Wüste von Nevada gefilmte Aktion von einem 15–köpfigen Produktionsteam, vier Tesla Cybertrucks und einem Hollywood–erprobten Pyrotechniker. Dies war weit mehr als nur ein Spektakel, es war ein klares Statement: Ditchit möchte die veralteten Strukturen der alten Tech–Giganten aufbrechen und einen Marktplatz schaffen, der die Menschen ins Zentrum stellt – nicht die Profite.

„Elon Musk hat Twitter in X umbenannt, um ein Zeichen für freie Meinungsäußerung zu setzen. Wir tun dasselbe – für lokale Marktplätze“, so James Deluca, Sprecher von Ditchit. „Heute dominieren Werbung, Gebühren und undurchsichtige Algorithmen, die Unternehmen gegenüber Einzelpersonen bevorteilen. Ditchit geht einen anderen Weg: kostenlos, werbefrei, und mit dem Ziel, echte Communities und authentische Verkäufer zu stärken.“

Das 3,6 Meter hohe Logo – unter dem Namen „Larry“ bekannt – wurde Anfang des Jahres für 34.000 US–Dollar ersteigert. Ursprünglich als ikonisches Symbol gekauft, wurde es nun zur Bühne eines disruptiven Neuanfangs.

Das Video von der spektakulären Sprengung des Schildes, das jetzt auf YouTube abrufbar ist, fängt einen filmreifen Moment ein, der sofort viral ging.

Doch „Larrys“ Geschichte ist damit nicht vorbei. Fragmente des kultigen Logos werden ab sofort über die Ditchit–App in einer verdeckten Auktion versteigert. Der Erlös geht vollständig an das Center for American Entrepreneurship, eine gemeinnützige Organisation zur Förderung von Innovation und der kommenden Unternehmergeneration.

„Viele Gründer starten ihre Karriere auf lokalen Marktplatz–Plattformen“, so Deluca. „Wir wollen diesen Weg nicht nur durch unsere Plattform, sondern auch durch konkretes Engagement unterstützen.“

Mit dieser Aktion verabschiedet sich Ditchit nicht nur symbolisch von den alten Big–Tech–Strukturen – das Unternehmen setzt ein klares Zeichen für eine neue Ära lokaler Marktplätze, die auf Transparenz, Zugänglichkeit und Gemeinschaft basiert.

Über Ditchit

Ditchit ist ein lokal ausgerichteter Marktplatz mit starkem Community–Fokus. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Plattformen ist die Nutzung vollkommen kostenlos, ohne Werbung oder Gebühren – wodurch der Kauf und Verkauf einfach und fair bleibt. Gegründet im Jahr 2024, ist die Ditchit–App für iOS und Android verfügbar.
