Insuring Against the Heat: A New Chapter for Women Workers By Kaveri Singh
For the first time, 2.5 lakh women across 8 states will be covered by heatwave insurance, recognizing the invisible risks that daily wage workers, vendors, and farmers face under extreme temperatures.
When the temperature rises past 40°C, it’s not just about weather it’s about lost incomes, rising health risks, and survival.
This initiative marks a small but powerful step towards climate justice for India's women.
Because no one should have to risk their health to earn a living.
