Celebrating World Environment Day

Join us for two engaging panels on women's leadership in environmental justice and nature-based solutions, gender-responsive climate policy and legal reform, and the importance of trust, unity, and moral leadership in climate governance.
---------
Panel 1 – Unequal Burdens: Gender, Climate, and the Structures of Injustice
Understanding the systemic roots of climate injustice and the disproportionate impact on women and marginalised communities and solutions envisioned, with obstacles and achievements.
Panel 2 – Women as catalysts: Leading systemic change for a just and sustainable future
Offering a values-based diagnosis of systemic injustice — emphasising the interconnectedness of all people and the spiritual consequences of inequality.
This is a call to dismantle unjust systems and build inclusive, grounded pathways, where women lead the transition to a just and sustainable world.

CALL TO ACTION: If you have a beloved pet, please consider taking a picture with them for our 10th annual "People and Pets Say NO!" statement photo campaign for Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

This campaign was created to raise awareness about women being trapped in violent homes and relationships because they are unable to take their beloved pets with them. Pets are frequently used by abusers as hostages and are often on the receiving end of the violence too. It's also a great springboard for folks to begin breaking the silence around domestic violence in their communities.

The submission deadline is August 31st, 2025. To find out more about how to submit your picture, go to bit.ly/PeopleNPetsSayNO
