Our global oceans rely entirely on the health of local waterways, so if you're looking to make a difference right here at home, we’d love to have you join our upcoming Eagleby wetlands discussion meeting! Book now via Humanitix https://events.humanitix.com/environment-month-eagleby-wetlands-dinner
Women Leading Greener Futures - Across the 13 countries in our SE Asia Pacific region, women and girls are on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Environmental degradation, water scarcity, and climate displacement are not gender-neutral, they hit our Pacific women the hardest, particularly in our Pacific communities where lives and livelihoods depend on the ocean.
Water Scarcity: Globally, women and girls spend an estimated 250 million hours every single day fetching water. In the Pacific, as rising seas contaminate freshwater, women must walk further and work harder to sustain their families, impacting on their future education and leadership.
Climate Displacement: Women and children are 14 times more likely to die or be injured during climate disasters. When extreme weather forces families into displacement, Pacific women face heightened safety risks, with some areas reporting a 300% increase in domestic violence cases following major cyclones.
The reality is clear: we cannot solve the climate crisis without addressing gender inequality.
When women are included in climate governance and water management, services become more equitable, communities become more resilient, and climate actions become more sustainable.
This Environment Month, let’s invest in our women, protect their rights, and amplify their voices. True climate action places women at the center of the solution.
Join us and your voice will be stronger, together our changes will make a better tomorrow. www.siseap.org
