Are Women more effected by disertification..if so, how?

Respone to Rita Yembilah, University of Calgary
In this artical the author discrides Iranian women and the hard life thay must encounter as their husbands leave to find work in other places. As a result, poor health, poverty, and other burdains are put on these women as they must fight for the survival of their family. Water is scarce as well as food and there is no sanitation or disease control. Mis-carraiges are prevalent and the way of life is saddening. In response to the article, the situation is unfortunate. Iran's government is extremely violent and unwilling to except foreign aid. These women face an unfullfilling life and we can do nothing directly to help. I feel bad for these women and wish that the situation could change.
