Women become victims during this starving situation and their life become vulnerable due to domestic violence. During humanitarian crisis women and girls, become double time victims in the family and the society. Many women do not get sufficient nutrition. Destitute women are also vulnerable and they are maintaining their family with their own income but while natural and human made disaster occurred, their income source get stopped and they have no way to maintain family. Consecutive 4 times flood in 2020 along with covid 19 pandemic made their life in a more vulnerable situation.
