🌍✊🏾 SEPTEMBER 17 | GLOBAL WEEK OF ACTION

KNOW THE GAP: Women, Climate & Our Future

Today, feminists around the world are coming together to raise awareness and mobilize for the socialization and implementation of the Belém Gender Action Plan (GAP) — while centering feminist solidarity, resistance, leadership, and collective action.

🇱🇷 For women in Liberia, climate justice is deeply connected to our everyday realities. Women in communities affected by environmental degradation, land loss, climate impacts, and natural resource extraction continue to experience these challenges while also leading community-based solutions and defending their rights.

The Belém Gender Action Plan provides an important opportunity to ensure that women’s lived experiences, knowledge, leadership, and priorities are reflected in climate action at national and global levels.

Today, we stand in solidarity with feminists everywhere demanding meaningful participation, gender-responsive climate action, accountability, and implementation.

🎥 Watch our video to learn more about the Belém Gender Action Plan and what it means for women and communities in Liberia.

Women’s voices. Women’s leadership. Feminist solidarity. Climate justice.

Ivory Coast: The West African Caravan Receives a Warm Welcome in Gozhoguiné 1, Logoualé

The 5th West African Caravan received a warm traditional welcome in Gozhoguiné 1, Logoualé, Côte d’Ivoire, where community members gathered to celebrate the arrival of the delegation.

The opening ceremony featured remarks from the village chief, representatives of the Côte d’Ivoire platform, the Caravan’s General Coordinator, and the Deputy Prefect of the Tonkpi Region, who reaffirmed the local administration’s support for initiatives that promote sustainable development.

A panel discussion on Protected Geographical Indications (PGIs) highlighted the importance of Danané rice and Man red palm oil as valuable tools for strengthening food sovereignty. The Caravan also distributed the Green Book, which presents the CGLTE-AO’s advocacy for community land, water, and seed rights.

The day concluded with a debriefing session and a group photo before the Caravan continued its journey toward Aboisso and onward to the World Social Forum (WSF) Cotonou 2026.

On the road to WSF Cotonou 2026!

🌍 Day of the African Child 2026

Today, the Natural Resource Women Platform (NRWP) joins Africa in honoring the courage of the children of Soweto and celebrating the rights, resilience, and potential of every African child.

We recognize that children’s futures are closely linked to women’s rights, secure land rights, environmental protection, and climate justice. When women and communities have access to land, livelihoods, education, and a healthy environment, children are better able to learn, grow, and thrive.

On this Day of the African Child, NRWP reaffirms its commitment to advocating for a just, inclusive, and sustainable future where every child can flourish.

🌱 Strengthening Communities Through Agriculture and Women’s Leadership 🌱

As part of our commitment to promoting sustainable livelihoods and empowering rural women, the Natural Resource Women Platform proudly supported the distribution of essential farming materials to five communal farms in Wonwudu, New Ceezon, Zondo, Siah Borbor, and Tradian in LAC, Grand Bassa County.

This initiative is more than the delivery of tools and supplies—it is an investment in the resilience, determination, and collective strength of women farmers and their communities. By equipping these communal farms with the resources they need, we are helping to improve food production, strengthen household incomes, encourage community cooperation, and promote long-term agricultural sustainability.

We recognize that when women have access to opportunities and resources, they become powerful agents of change—feeding families, supporting local economies, and contributing to the development of their communities.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our valued partners whose generosity, collaboration, and shared vision made this initiative possible. Your commitment to empowering women and advancing community-led development is creating lasting impact and opening doors to greater opportunities for rural farmers.

Most importantly, we celebrate the remarkable women of Wonwudu, New Ceezon, Zondo, Siah Borbor, and Trodian. Your dedication, perseverance, and determination inspire hope and demonstrate that when women are supported, entire communities thrive.

🌍 World Environment Day 2026

The Natural Resource Women Platform (NRWP) joins the global community in commemorating World Environment Day 2026, reaffirming its commitment to environmental stewardship, climate justice, gender equality, and sustainable development.

NRWP highlights the environmental challenges facing Liberia, including deforestation, climate change, biodiversity loss, and threats to community land rights, which disproportionately affect women and rural communities. Through initiatives such as climate-smart agriculture training, Indigenous seed preservation, Community Seed Fairs, advocacy for community land rights, and support for Women Human Rights Defenders, NRWP continues to promote women’s leadership in environmental protection and natural resource governance.

As we mark this important day, NRWP calls on government, development partners, civil society, the private sector, and local communities to work together and place women and communities at the center of environmental action.
