Enabling an Equal World for Indigenous Women in the Time of Climate Crisis
News
March is often celebrated as International Women’s Month with March 8 officially declared as International Women’s Day to shine the light on the different issues and inequities women around the world face. This year’s theme is aptly described as “An equal world is an enabled world”, a fitting line to describe the various inequities that women experience around the world and the need for us to acknowledge and work towards dismantling the structures of inequities that exist.
Cuso International and the Asian Indigenous Peoples’ Pact (AIPP), held a three-day conference in Bangkok, Thailand which gathered the various stakeholders to hear the voices of Indigenous Women themselves affected by climate change. The three-day event gave Indigenous Women an opportunity to share their expertise and to make their voices heard with regional and national government representatives and other key stakeholders.
