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. Discussions highlighted how climate disasters, migration, loss of livelihood, and environmental stress often affect women, girls, and marginalized communities differently and increase their vulnerabilities.

Youth participants explored different perspectives on:
🌱 Gender roles and inequalities
🌱 Climate-induced vulnerabilities
🌱 Violence and discrimination during disasters and migration
🌱 Inclusion and equal participation in climate action
🌱 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.

Together, we continue raising voices for a greener, safer, and more inclusive future.

They highlighted how the forms and patterns of child labour are changing due to climate stress and environmental disasters.
