What does climate justice have to do with gender justice?

Extreme weather and climate events are increasing across the world, but they don’t affect everyone equally, women are disproportionately impacted by climate chaos.

Because women are the food producers, carers of the family, and responsible for collecting water and cooking fuel, climate events impact
women and families most. They also face harsh economic impacts from environmental degradation, with women spending more household income on mitigating climate events and disasters.

Ways Women are Disproportionately Impacted by Climate Chaos

• Conflict: women are disproportionately impacted by conflict, increasing sexual violence, brutality, and femicide.
• Food and water scarcity: women are responsible for providing both for the family in many parts of the world.
• Displacement: women and families are displaced because of climate chaos and conflict due to resource exploitation and poverty.

WGEF supports women farmers, using organic, indigenous practices; creating local, sustainable food economies. Our initiatives are leading the way to a more just and food secure environment. However, conflict and instability has created increased costs for fuel, fertilizer and other critical inputs, we need your support more than ever ~ Please consider an urgent donation today!
