Climate change is underpinned by grave injustice. Those who contribute the least to its occurrence are affected the most, with limited access to resources needed to adapt. Climate change has serious impacts on health and the economy. The climate crisis is worsening women's rights to access their SRHR needs and is affecting their livelihood.
Her Dream Initiative conducted training for 24 young people aimed at empowering them on climate justice, gender, and SRHR. The training highlighted the intersectionality of the three issues, focusing on how climate change affects women and young people.
The discussion on climate justice, gender
equality, and SRHR aimed to create an understanding of how they influence each
other and shape young people’s lives. Young people explored how
different environmental challenges, such as natural disasters and food
insecurity, increase gender-based violence and restrict access to health
services, especially for women and girls.
The training encouraged youth to become
advocates for climate resilience, gender equality, and SRHR in their
communities. Through different interactive discussions, they learned about
sustainable practices and ways to address local climate challenges, and
gender-based violence while gaining knowledge about SRHR including family
planning and safe practice.
The training equipped youth with the
important skills needed to promote holistic well-being and resilience, enabling
them to advocate for the protection of the environment and individual health
rights.
The climate crisis is underpinned by grave injustices, with those who contributed the least to the climate crisis suffering first and worst from its consequences, and with limited access to the resources needed to adapt.
