This document is a role-playing exercise designed to simulate the perspective of a 32-year-old woman in an urban South Asian setting who faces intersecting challenges of domestic violence, unemployment within the household, and vulnerability to flooding.

• The persona describes how flooding directly impacts her economic stability and family health, noting that waterlogging makes it difficult to reach her informal cleaning work and that overflowing drains cause her children to fall sick.
• The persona identifies specific needs to improve her resilience and reduce costs, including training in waste management, urban farming for local crops, and biogas technologies, as well as digital information on evacuation routes and flood levels.
• Barriers to accessing support include a lack of childcare, the inability to take time off work, and concerns that a lack of education will make the procedures for accessing government or NGO safety net schemes difficult.
