Fighting Climate Impacts On Women

For governments and activists worldwide, the months of November and December mark a period to focus on the prevalence and eradication of gender-based violence (GBV). During the 16 Days of Activism from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to December 10 (Human Rights Day), numerous activities are organised globally to address violence against women and girls (VAWG). As global warming and climate change increasingly affect lives worldwide, it is critical to incorporate discussions on how these phenomena disproportionately impact women and girls into the campaign. Activism during this period should aim to raise awareness of these links and adopt resolutions to address them effectively.
