Women at the Frontlines_WEB-2.pdf

This publication, developed under the coordination of the Global Alliance for Green and Gender Action (GAGGA) and supported by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), explores the intersection of gender, conflict, and climate change, and how these forces are reshaping communities, economies, and ecosystems around the world. At the heart of the study are women—both cisgender and transgender, as well as travesty individuals—from structurally excluded communities in Brazil, Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mozambique, Nigeria, and the Philippines. It provides a comprehensive analysis based on Feminist Participatory Action Research (FPAR) of how extractive industries, forced displacement, and militarization exacerbate gendered injustices and how gendered inequalities fuel the nexus further. It highlights the agency and leadership of women from Indigenous, Afro-descendant, rural, and LBTIA+ (Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex, Asexual and other identities) communities in resisting these forces and advancing gender-just climate solutions.
