EARTH DAY

Every day we RISE for Climate Justice & Mother Earth . We amplify the connections between the exploitation of women and the exploitation of the earth . The global climate crisis impacts communities around the world . Women and girls suffer the most in terms of long term loss of livelihood , forced migration , trafficking and other climate related conflicts . Indigenous populations everywhere have suffered gravely – displaced and forced to flee and relocate – making them the world ’ s first climate refugees .
This Earth Day , we renew our call for justice against the aggressive greed and global exploitation of nature and people that deepen the inequalities of wealth and power . We RISE for Mother Earth and for the restoration of dignity , integrity and respect towards the Earth and to all people of the world who have been violated by policies and programs that cause environmental degradation and plunder .
