3 Women Leading Climate Solutions & Gender Equality

These 3 women are using gender equality and women’s rights to help fight the climate crisis.

Lilian Gregorio is the technical team and founder of Fundación Plurales. She created Defensoras Ambientales, a network supporting Indigenous women environmental defenders in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. Defensoras Ambientales works to strengthen local knowledge, teach technical and advocacy skills for climate adaptation and mitigation, and improve women’s resilience while amplifying their demands.

Lucie Gamond Rius is a grassroots activist and the founder of Imece France, a nonprofit based in Turkey that supports, educates, and empowers displaced women. With Imece, Gamond Rius started the Solar Age Project. The program trains Syrian women refugees in solar engineering.

Andrea Monzón Juárez is the director of Asociación Todos Juntos and MealFlour, which works with Indigenous women in Guatemala to improve nutrition.
All three women were recognized at the Gender Just Climate Solutions Award at COP26. The awards brought together environmental defenders from around the world who use gender equality and women’s rights to fight the climate crisis.

So why can't the program promote basic human rights and teach BOTH genders how to do these things?

Why are the thumbnails of women in masks, but the videos are of women without masks? 😂

This is what real feminism looks like, not that garbage from Hollywood.

How do they want to fight climate change

By soldering? Do you know what that smoke is like? It's like pure CO2, but maybe it can help blot out the sun and lower the earth's temperature that way.

Once a man transitions and takes these womens jobs something might get done about it.
