What this episode covers
Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of domestic violence and pregnancy loss, and may be distressing to some listeners. This is Part 2 of a two-part series. In the previous episode, we heard how deforestation reshaped the lives and safety of women in Katagi Village, Uganda. What does it truly take to rebuild both ecosystems and lives, and is restoring the forest enough? In this powerful conclusion to a two-part series, host Ivy Prosper returns to Katagi Village in Uganda, where the ripple effects of deforestation and climate change reach far beyond the land. As poverty deepens and access to education remains out of reach, many women find themselves trapped in cycles of dependence and abuse. Through deeply personal stories, we hear from Annet Nassanga, Zigama Elivania, and Kyalinkunda Esiter, who share how environmental destruction has shaped their lives, as well as how community, education, and financial independence are helping them rebuild their futures.
