Fighting on two fronts: climate justice and gender rights

- Spanish
Description
For this CSW66 NGO parallel event, ODI's Gender and Climate programmes are teaming up with Futuros Indígenas to discuss the linkages between women’s livelihoods, natural resources and gender norms.
Speakers will outline the relationship between rights to bodily autonomy and access to land, focusing on the experiences of women who are facing climate breakdown in indigenous communities. Exploring strategies of resistance, and the gendered challenges they face, we will trace how climate justice can bring gains both for the Earth and indigenous women – particularly as leaders of transformative change.
