Slideshow: Women are the faces of climate change

In poorer parts of the world, women are the ones who fetch water, grow food and more. As the climate changes, their lives are changing for the worse. Female photographers with Ripple Effects Images are documenting the women and their stories, in the slides below and in films ranging over AfricaIndia and Peru.
