Voice for Green Earth Campaign – Day 2

Day 2 of the “Voice for Green Earth” campaign focused on Gender, Climate Change, and Social Justice through an interactive training session with youth participants.

The session helped young people understand gender discrimination, inequality, and violence through the lens of climate change and environmental challenges.

🌱 Building safer and more gender-responsive communities
The training created a safe space for dialogue, learning, and reflection, encouraging youth to connect climate justice with gender justice and community wellbeing.
