Gavin GoughBuddha Laxmi Adhikari was 86 years old when the 2015 earthquake struck Nepal. Her home was destroyed, forcing her and her family to seek shelter in a temporary camp.⠀
⠀
Approximately 2.8 million people were displaced as a result of the earthquake.⠀

“Protection concerns for displaced people who have been living in temporary shelters since 2015 include the prevention of physical and mental health problems, including respiratory illnesses and depression. Among the worst affected are older women, who already faced discrimination, illiteracy, poor health and hardship before the disaster and are more likely to suffer ill health, depression or neglect afterwards.” (Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre)⠀
